I ran into this problem on my last motor and was wondering what everyone else has been doing. When using a CSI electric pump the stock alternator bracket doesnt work, I sold the motor before I could remedy this but will run into it soon again when I start building my next. Any ideas?

Do you have any pictures with this on a engine?
I ran an idler pulley on the back of my belt to clear csi electic pump. It works o.k. and I have not thrown a belt yet, but the alternator brackets they are selling look a lot sharper.

Just wondering what type of provisions there are on this bracket for lining up belts. I plan on using a Delco alternator, CSR water pump, and stock bottom pulley. Will I have issues lining up the belt?
That thing come with instructions??Originally Posted by jeepsr4ever

He does now ...
And for lining up belts, the double ended bolt from the intake brace adjusts in and out. I needed to take about 3/8's off the side that goes into the bracket and cut another 3 truns on the bolt for the outter side (MC is that a grade 50000 bolt!!! Tough stuff to thread!!!) to get enough adjustment I'm sure the lower bolt has the same provision - at least that's sorta the way I made mine, but the brace I made put's it in line with the lower pully.
This is the upper ... it spans the #2 intake runner and sticks out holding the bely adjustment arm.
I didn't get the lower post, so I made a brace from some 3/8 all-thread.
Lemme tall ya - even getting the 1/4" plate steel red hot (newar molten), it's still a bitch to bend when your vice table moves!!!!

Already in the lowest hole on the head and that lower bracket - isn't chrome - that's the 1/4" plate I melted and bent - then took a flapwheel to clean it up!!!Use the other hole Pat and dont you do grinding on that chromed bracket.
Didn't touch the upper bracket, just cut off 3/8" the bolt so I could move the ALT in to meet the pulley line
OH! You mean the curved bracket??

Hmmm I must have gotten the mark 1 model. My kit didnt come with the "stand off" shown in the lower right hand corner of the pic.. I hadnt put it on cause I hadnt figured that out yet..
What we need also is a bracket that allows the mounting of a rotary A/C compressor and the alternator.. I have to put A/c on the full size jeep.
