Nice lower alternator bracket for headers?
I saw that pic on Toddalins car with the billet alt bracket.
Who makes nice looking bracket for RH side mounting that works with SBC headers?
I am going to get rid of the tach drive alternator on my car and just hook the (new) tach cable to my Accel dual sync dizzy shortly, and would like to replace the stamped steel, ugly, alternator lower bracket.
Thanks,
Doug

Changing my thinking a little bit,I now have Dart heads with front mount holes, instead of the old 461/462 heads I had years ago.
Anybody familiar with a mount like this? I need the alternator in the stock (generator) location for hood and fresh air vent clearance. I am using a 12SI alternator.

These folks have a good variety of brackets. They're not flashy but very strong. Alan Grove
Thanks, Though.

One nice thing about the Header Power Brackets is that the right side brackets use the very common and readily available (aka cheap) left side F-brackets. The typical GM right side bracket/exhaust manifold mount would use a different F-bracket (wider bolt hole spacing to account for the 0.9" difference in offset) that is not easy to locate, and not cheap.
Over the years, I've had just two people buy right brackets and note that their stock F-bracket did not fit for this very reason.
