Is this really an alternator relocation bracket?
Is this really an alternator relocation bracket? Hey guys, odd question here but when I bought my turbo setup the guy told me he had a alternator bracket that he would include for free. He told me that he bought it off someone (assuming from here) but never used it as he never installed the kit. I have not torn apart my car yet so I have not been able to figure out if this bracket lines up with anything but I would like to find out if I need to buy a bracket or not before I get to the point of no return. Has anyone seen anything like this? I really haven't seen one like it before but it appears like it could be based around a alternator since it is slotted on one side and the other is stationary but I have no idea.
Here are some pictures, the dollar is there for size refrence. the spacer part is stationary while the screw part is slotted.

I most likely wont use it but I am curious if anyone has seen or is running one of these. I kinda like how the spoolin performance setup looks.
Any idea what the username is? I have seen quite a few home made setups but none were a solid piece with a bend in it. I am just curious how this thing was supposed to be used or if there may originally have been more parts.

i believe the way that bracket is suppose to work is with using your stock alternator bracket, i believe your probably missing a spacer that goes between the stock alt bracket and head though, the piece in the pic should bolt to the water pump where the tensioner is currently at (it will have to be removed) and then the slotted part will bolt to the alt bracket, then on the middle bolt on alt bracket (the one that is indented) you will bolt that part to the head and you will need a spacer for it (stock lugnut is almost perfect size lol) then the farthest bolt on alt bracket you will just use a nut and bolt to hold the alt into it
i know this because i made something similar with mine, i just hope that makes sense lol

Correct, I have heard of some people throwing belts with that setup so I am shying away from it. Not sure if the design was ever changed though as this was a couple years ago when I heard that.
That does make sense, do you have any pictures of yours? I am guessing there is at least one other point on the alternator housing that bolts directly to the head? I can't imagine this little bracket alone being secure enough.

there is some pics of this exact bracket mounted in this thread here, just scroll down a bit...https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...rx7-build.html
Obviously an expert who would rather pay big bucks than MAKE something that worked flawlessly and ultimately was hidden behind and below the alt...
So the definitive answer is YES a relocate bracket and YES it worked perfectly for pennies..... I should know, I made it for my budget build.
Ill PM the OP for install..
