    I dont have the original bracket on my V6. I used a piece of all thread rod, made a spacer and the alternator rides on that. For the top arm, i used a regular cheapie alternator arm from the auto parts store. I am wanting something that is a bit sturdier. What have you guys done for a custom alternator bracket? I was considering usuand a rods with heim joint ends to connect the top arm part, but just dont like montuing it to the top of the water pump.

    Please take some pics. If you have any that is on the motor, i want to see how it is mounted to the motor and how it is braced. The aluminum ones really like o break, gonna have to make a steel one :)
