Does anyone have pictures of one of these installed? I cannot figure it out at all. The plastic cover on the back of the alt hits the top of the head and valve cover ugh!

I just installed one on my car during my turbo build. I was only able to use the upper bracket unfortunately but yes you need to remove or trim the back black plastic cover on the alt to make it fit.

Personally I did not like the look without the cover completely off so I trimmed the protruding squared off piece from the back of the cover off with a dremel. Once I got it all installed it honestly looks stock. I don't have a pic on hand but I can grab one for you if you want.

Yes if it isn't too much trouble I would really like to see a picture of how you trimmed the cover. I eventually figured out that the cover had to be removed but I dont like the back of it exposed

No problem man I will grab one for you from the back side. Here is a shot of what it looks like from the drivers side and front, if you didn't know you would never know I trimmed the back plastic.

I've got the PTK kit (a true one from another fbod forum) so I had to keep my idler puller down low but just remove the alternator. Unfortunately I didn't realize the lower Spoolin Performance bracket wouldn't work for me when I originally bought it so I ended up putting my tensioner in the stock location under the alternator. It all works pretty well now but def took some figuring out LOL.

what belt did you use ? so you just used the upper spoolin bracket and tensioner in the stock location ?

Yes, upper spoolin bracket, stock idler location, stock tensioner location (had to slightly shave the backside of the tensioner bracket slightly and a 76" belt is what I have on my setup.
