Default Alternator bracket options

Anyone know of an inexpensive alternative alternator bracket that will fit properly? Chrome etc., that is not outragously priced. Most everything I could find was either Zoops billet at $275 or for long water pump. Thanks

What's wrong with your stock one? I may still have the one that was on my car before I switched to serp. It's after market I believe. PM me if you're interested and I will take pics tomorrow.

Sorry Durango Boy. I don't know why the PM didn't go through. I guess I should have been a little more specific. My top bracket is not correct. Had to wollow the slot out to get screw to line up, I think I got it off and have the belt too tight. Seems to be eating the bearings up on my water pump. Going on second pump now. Thanks, All

I first bought a cheap AZone one, but it had the wrong arc angle.
Then I bought this one . . . about $75 bucks. You can see how it looks in My Corvette Pictures. The new bottom bracket covered my PS pump, so I used the original bottom bracket and painted it aluminum color.

OK, it's not in my pics . . . sorry, here it is:

Thanks red. I think that is about what I am looking for. A little more than I'd like to spend but way less than the Zoops ones I saw. Looks nice too.
