I'm thinking that this style of bracket was originally designed to bolt on the Chevy manifold before they got used on rigs with headers with the header bracket.

Half of the older guys on here probably have one in their parts stash and you can get them though any parts house that sells speed parts. I'd take my generator bracket along to make sure they match up mounting spacing hole size though. If I am not mistaken the bracket moves the mounting holes for the alternator are a bit further out than the holes on the generator bracket are. I could be wrong though.
