Default need help with alternator bracket

i bought a used t60 kit and i didnt get the alternator relocation bracket. turbo tech sells them for 300, so i was going to see if i could find an alternate way of mounting the alternator. any ideas?

thats what i thought. i tried making my own- but that failed. it worked for about a day, then the belt came off and shredded. i emailed turbo tech to see if maybe they would give me the specs on the bracket so i could try again.

i figured it would be hard for them to make because there isnt really anything to go by. does anyone have a good closeup picture of the bracket?

why didn't you guys get the bracket when u got your used kits?? i hope you got $300 off the price for that! its kinda a mandatory part! like oh its just missing the turbo.

i wouldnt pay $300 for a new one, it fits like crap anyway, just get one made.
