How did everyone relocate the alt?

How did everyone relocate their alternator to clear the truck manifolds. I saw people said there were kits, and some said it could be made, but I haven't found any kits or seen detailed pics of the brackets if they were made.

The thinner sheets were tig'ed together, very cleanly

No bones needed. I'll get back to you, once I located the one I had.
