Re: mod to alternator bracket. no more shaking!
That looks like a good idea! Can I use your idea if mine shakes?

Re: mod to alternator bracket. no more shaking!
In the second picture, it appears that the two pulleys
are not in alignment. It you place some washers or spacers behind the bracket, it will move it alternator and bracket away from the head and line it up. Could this be the difference between a long and short water pump? I am not sure. It would be better to have the two pulleys in line. EdB |

I'd double check that just to make sure. What you will notice, if it's off, is that the belt will start squeeling at you prematurely. |

Re: mod to alternator bracket. no more shaking!
Another easy fix/cure is to find an identicle upper bracket and double'em up, intalled back to back of one another.

Re: mod to alternator bracket. no more shaking!
This is a perfect mod.Great idea.You should have been working for GM.I`ve seen fatigued/broken lower brackets before,too.All the lateral support is in those since they are cast and rigid.
