Default Pics of Alternator Brkts Used on Solid Axle Vettes w/Hdrs

The PO added an alternator to my 61 a number of years ago and it has the typical angle bracket that attaches to the front two passenger side header tube bolts and then there is an 'F' shaped bracket attached to that one that the alternator attaches to. Problem is with the 'F' brkt in that it doesn't allow much movement to centerline. I'd like to swing the alternator a bit closer to the water pump to minimize the belt length. Anyone have pics of their alternator bracket setup on a Solid Axle Vette outfitted with headers?
Thanks
Mike T.

No reason a C1 would be different than a C2 in this respect. Here's mine:


If you need to get the alternator closer, you can just leave out the spacer. No header bracket on the market will get it closer to the centerline than a Header Power Bracket.
