Default My version of an Alternator Mount
Finished my alternator mount (minus powdercoating)

fabbed it out of steel and used a March Adjustment rod for tension

the car is still being put together so it probably won't be put to use for a couple more weeks

Dam knievel,
Looks just like the one I made. But I use a stand off from the head snd I also use heim link mechanical tensioner. Another version I made and designed uses a tpi alt. And its also mechanical tensioner used with 6rib stock crank pulley and sc head unit. Engine spins to 7k and never thrown a belt. Pulley on sc also 6rib
