finishing up assembly of my 427 side oiler and need illustration of ford alternator bracket setup. Not sure if brackets I have are correct. Don't seem to "fit" together correctly. Running factoy rad expansion tank. Small problem starting to drive me crazy. Any help greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Squeaker

Dont let it make you crazy .I think Enzo sells them from" The Finish line " which you can find a link on the web site . Also " Cobra Restorers " Might sell one . Mine came with the car , which I also recomend . Keep us posted , some one I'm sure can weld one up . Basically a bolt welded to a mounting plate for the bottom , and a adjustable arm on top which are available .
I saw a totaly different set up an an all aluminium CS427 where a bracket was bolted to the water pump

$125 in polished form

do they look like these ( actually a Dove product)?

The whole thing bolts up nicely to your waterpump

No Tim, mine do not look like yours, I'm sure that's my problem. I think I'm going to wait until I go to the show in Carlisle in a few weeks and try to pick up the correct ones there. Thanks for the picture it was a big help.

Hello George
It's darn close
headers and pipes went for coating last week
Gauges are home and yet to be installed
Electric fan needs to be wirded up and I can basically break in the motor after those are done.
Half shafts are not in the car but coming from builder

Then comes the final paint job
last is carpet.

Hoped for June, maybe july on the road

Tim
