O.K. I figured out my alternator bracket geometry. The corvette one I was intending to use would not work because I had to lift the power steering pump to clear the rack and pinion steering, so the vette bracket would hit the top of the pump but also the alt belt would rub on the housing of the P.S. pump. I came up with this design that raises the alt up high enough to clear the pump but also uses a unique tensioning system that looks good and is really solid, it uncluttered the system. These are intermediate photos, finish photos tomorrow when it is day light. I buffed the S.S. strap and powder coated the bracket gloss black.
I still need to find a S.S. bolt with a button head like a carriage bolt but stronger, the hex head is too close to the belt.
It was easier to just buy a S.S. bolt and cut it up, vs. buying a foot of the stock and the local metal yard.
It clears the pump nicely
