Just got done making a ‘‘billet’’ 3.8L Alternator bracket, to
replace the ‘‘store-bought’’ one I’ve had on there for 10 years,
that’s broken on-the-road three times now. I made this one
for a (ubiquitous and cheap) Delco alternator, but I also plan
to make them for the Hitachis, and perhaps Bosch as well. I’ll
post a picture as soon as its approved.–

is so puny, we could build a gold [billet] fence around it!’’
Really? I might just buy it!>;-)

Perhaps a bit over-designed, but it won’t ever break!–

Lynn,
Thinking about making them for 4.2s, as well - the mounting
points are completely different.–

Just think of the market opportunities for a ‘‘billet’’ SII
AC/alternator replacement!
