Default C5 accessory drive conversion help

Hello,

I am having trouble mounting the alternator bracket. There are four bolts that mount it to the head. I bought the odd bolt (Alt bracket to head bolt (1) 11516356) for my conversion. Am I correct that this bolt goes behind the pump? If so, when I screw it all the way in I am still 1/8" short of bottoming it out. Distance is about that of a washer. I see no washer listed in the parts list. Rest of the bolts (3) seem pretty much self explanatory since threads will run into the other three mounting places on the bracket.

Any help appreciated.

Hmm not sure where or what bolt bolt you're talking about but if you need pics, I can walk out to the garage and take some

Do you have the install printout? I didn't see bolt 11516356 listed for the alternator bracket part.
Did you put the power steering reservoir between the bolt and the bracket? This should make up your 1/8th difference. If relocating the reservoir you should be ok with a thick washer.

11518631 and not the 11516356 list in the post. Thanks for the photo and the help.

any chance at getting the part number for the tensioner bolts? The original ones were longer than the ones for the Corvette swap. Thanks

GM part# 11515768

Here's the install link that has all the part numbers for the serpentine kit. I forgot to include it in my earlier post.
