65SSZ06 - I was scratching my head trying to figure out a simple way to mount and wire the ALT on my 6.0L going into my stang. Then I decided to use the mustang ALT because the wiring is already there. And Bam it hit me. Mount it to the tensioner tab!! Then today i find this post and you post up picks of the very idea i had.... I love this Forum

If you don`t need a clean looking flashy design build your own brackets. Thats what I did for my 4.3L chevette, I didn`t care how they looked, plus I don`t think anyone makes a 4.3L alt and waterpump only bracket set for a chevette. I just used 5' of 1/2" black iron pipe and a chunk of angle iron.

I welded a washer on each end of the pipe so that the bolt fit through it snugly. IIRC they were 3/8" bolts and I used 5/16" washers, I had to clearance a couple with a drill bit so that the bolt would go all the way in.
The brackets looked much better once I bothered to knock the slag off the welds (flux core) and paint it.

I'm designing and making my own bracket. This was the prototype for the top. I'm going to be remaking the bracket you see, and starting and hopefully finishing the bottom bracket/tensioner.
