Default Relocation mount for mini alternator

Recommendations of a relocation mount that a mini alternator will fit on. Will drive directly from balancer (10% under drive). Forward facing, down turned headers, Moroso elect water pump. Thanks

No idea what mini alternator you have. Hell
i don’t even know what alternator I have 😂.

This is just a low mount I think I bought off eBay. But I’m driving the water pump and using a katech manual tensioner

if your gunna drive directly off the crank with nothing else... the alternator mount is gunna have to be adjustable like they were on old school stuff

you can see the room availability. Passenger low gives me a little more separation from the headers. Have a denso mini lesson like to fit in somewhere.

Yeah From the looks of it... the combination of those headers and a electric water pump doesn’t leave you with much of any options.

Seems like a bracket bolted to the pass side head would be easiest. Run a low mount tensioner/idler setup and it should work.

Electric water pump kinda makes that spot hard.

he is almost going to need a low mount that is adjustable. Kinda like the old v belt setups were on a SBC. Loosen a bolt and use a pry bar to pull the belt tight and tighten the bolt on the alternator

What is this setup in? I was thinking you had a dime, but that's clearly not a dime.

I still think it'll fit depending on water line routing.
