Default Ecs 8 rib bracket , the correct one or no ??

So I bought my kit in 06 & aware they have made drastic changes to the design since then , can someone verify that I have the right or the wrong bracket & if it is the wrong bracket , can u plz post a pic of the correct bracket for the 8 rib ?
Gracious & thank you , this is the bracket I've had since 06, also I've got the big j piping going to the drivers side , now they run all the piping to the passenger side & put a plate & a flange on the Drivers side & open a hole for the passengers side for the intercooler /so yes the kit I bought & the new kit are pretty unique & different than from 06

Same design, bracket has not changed since. All brackets are 8 rib compatible.

If you have the 1500 head unit the bracket is different. The 2000 bracket has remained unchanged in design from the beginning and is still the same if you ordered one today. Logo is different thats all. Same brackets same spacers and they fit 6 rib and 8 rib with only a pulley change. Even the idler stays the same.

Only real difference is 2000 bracket has a threaded rod to draw in the idler and the 1500 bracket has a swing arm. Otherwise they are basically identical as Bob already posted.
