Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks! I've been working on the firewall a little bit and playing around with my son's truck. I should be ready for another trial fit next weekend.....:D.

Love it Rob! Keep the pics coming!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I got the supercharger snout support bracket back from my machinest for a test fit. I still need to clean it up but it fits great. I thought about adding something in the middle to break up the big piece of aluminum, but I'm not sure what I should put in there....suggestions?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Could go with a simple bowtie! :chevy:

Might consider a name. (Does the truck have a "name"?)

Add a simple pattern to it, wouldn't "open" it up, but it would break up the broad, flat expanse of the bracket.

:confused::confused::confused:

"supercharged" emblem

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

How about matching the pattern and texture of the Alt bracket or go black to match the SC.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Can you cut a "window" in the bracket to make it less bulky, without losing strength?
How thick is it?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I like Keith's idea.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thought about a Bow tie. Truck isn't named so can't go there.... thanks!

Pictures?

Alt and a/c brackets are forged pieces from Holley, so I really can't match them. I could paint it black though....


Keith, it's a 1/4" aluminum. There's a piece that bolts on just below the s/c snout, so I'm not sure I could cut it out without maintaining the strength. I'll have to ask my machinist. I thought about having another one waterjetted out of stainless, the cutout would probably work then.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

You could do three triangles without loosing strength and get the same appearance as what Keith has drawn up. Two on the outside upright and the middle one inverted. Just a suggestion.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Looking great!!

Re: 68 S/C update.....

niceeee, looks great, keep up the hard work

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I don't see any reason to window the bracket just leave it like it is.
The supercharger emblem would have been a good idea if the belt didn't run right through that area.
