Good question, I havent been able to find any relocation brackets myself. Well except the home made ones.

kind of obvious answer but i prefer this one

works with the stock tensioner and puts it into a place easy to get to, doesnt push the belt against its self, the new ones clear aftermarket rails, and is shipped fast.

Hey... is the one I got from you the "new one"

I still have the modified PTK bracket on mine but was actually going to swap it out this week now that I have some time.

are there any advantages to relocating the alternator from the stock location, besides more room?

I heard stainless works makes a $20 one, but it's a bitch to get lined up. I haven't called them yet. I need one ASAP.

In one of the turbo stickies they mention just geting the braket from one of a few sponsers. so i thought i could just click and buy but i guess not. so a few members on here are the people making them. anyone know their prices or have any more info. Do trucks have theirs mounted up high on the passenger side?
