For you to get this to work you'll probably need some sort of tubing and some longer screws.......And a healthy dose of imagination. Search "alternator bracket" on this site and you'll see all sorts of ideas.</P><P>When I need little bits of iron welded into brackets etc. - I usually take them by the local muffler shop. They are the thin gauge welding kings and some will do a quick job for free and others will want five bucks.Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:42:17 GMTAZ28http://www.y-blocksforever.com/forums/Topic12202-7-1.aspxi looked it up in the macauto book and its a 176 bucks!!! i just need the bracket, some screws and what not. if anyone has one for sale hey, i'll buy it off of you. cuz i went to that gm website everyone refers everyone to, and i didnt see where to order it? but yea i just need that bracket if anyone has oneTue, 17 Jun 2008 12:00:19 GMTluvzjohnnycashhttp://www.y-blocksforever.com/forums/Topic12202-7-1.aspxMr. Cash,</P><P> you can also get them from Mac's Auto Parts, they sell the whole kit, but possibly they might sell just the brackets. </P><P><A href="http://www.macsautoparts.com">www.macsautoparts.com</A></P><P>Another is one that sell the kits in Yblock Magazine that is L.D. Becker Atique Auto Electric. Ph. Number is 419-633-5122. No website that I know of, he might sell just the brackets. I have one of his kits with a 105 amp. alternator and am very pleased with it. Becker by the way is in Ohio. Steve Metzger's photos are also very easy I would think, to put together a bracket as well. The hardest part I could think of is finding the "drill stops" on the threaded shaft. I accually though about possibly making up a few of these and trying to sell them on either Ebay or in Yblock Magazine. It sure wouldn't take much to make.</P><P> Michael</P><P> Henderson, NV 89074Thu, 01 May 2008 06:54:31 GMTUnibodyguyhttp://www.y-blocksforever.com/forums/Topic12202-7-1.aspxIf you plan to install air in the near future, Vintage Air has an alternator/compressor bracket that is really nice.Tue, 29 Apr 2008 19:01:34 GMTpaul2748http://www.y-blocksforever.com/forums/Topic12202-7-1.aspxThe site that Tom listed above is the most commomly used "do it yourself" alternator installation I know of.

B5A-10346-B. It is listed for 90bucks which is pretty salty for something you can make from a stock Y Block bracket for 10 or 15 Dollars.
