    Alternator relocation brackets.

    Once I get everything in the engine bay all cleaned up, I'd like to relocate my alternator.

    I don't have a/c, p/s or a smog pump.

    I currently have the belt on the tensioner backwards and the back side of the belt just barely hits the w/p, which is fine I don't mind if it slips a little.

    So, I want to ditch that ugly huge alternator bracket and tensioner to make It look better, the problem Im running into is I can't find what I'm looking for. I want to move the alternator towards the bottom, closer to the crank pulley where the smog pump used to be or near by. I find kits but they are made for v belt, standard rotation water pumps.

    What if I were to use an electric water pump, then the only thing my belt would turn would be the alternator. Would one of the standard rotation kits work with that set up, by just bypassing the water pump all together and just run a serp belt from the crank to the alt on the lower passengers side?

    This is what I'm shooting for: can't find squat on how to do it, parts wise.




    Any ideas?

      How about going to the threads you pulled those pictures from and ask the poster.

      Those look like March kits anyway.
      Fuck you. We're going to Costco.

        March kit and be done. You'll also get more on the waterpump.

            Because they were custom made, the first picture used a bracket off a datsun b210 and mounted it to the water pump, the second picture he just said it's what he made.

            The thread was also from 2007.

              Don't worry about what you can't change.
              Do the best you can with what you have.
              Be honest, even if it hurts.

                That is for a v belt and standard rotation w/p.

                Or... Will it work?

                          It's def worth the money. Nicely built. I had one but it wouldn't work with my turbo.

                            Should have kept it and I would have taken it off your hands!

                            I'll get one of theese when I get my water pump, will look nice!
