Default Finished the alt. bracket

Brian finished up the alt. bracket while I replaced the stock fuel pump. The bracket is very solid and will not move. I think it turned out really well. Here are some pictures.

Here is a picture of the bracket mounted:


getting it ready for paint:


and a few pictures from the fuel pump install:
Decided to cut through the top instead of dropping the tank. This took alot of time, but I think it could have been worse


and of course the hole:


and the old pump:


The car is actually coming together SLOWLY but surely...

Sean, remind me to knock the crap out of you the next time I see you

I don't think Brian is going to sell the bracket. He just made it for me because I'm special

Vents -- Yes, I am going turbo. Turbonetics T76... will have more pictures very soon!

That IS NOT an A/C tensioner, its a stock tensioner with an idler pulley swapped on.

The bracket was pretty easy to build, just a little time consuming making it "pretty"
