Bubba's Alternator Bracket
Bubba got real creative with my alternator bracket . . . stripped bolt holes in head, wrong thread bolts, braces mounted on steering box, etc. I have removed all that junk, repaired the head bolt holes and am now ready to purchase the correct alternator bracket. By correct, I don't necessarily mean original, but one that looks nice and that will do the job correctly.
I'm looking for something under $100 and have narrowed my search to this one: Summit SUM-420101 Is this the correct one? What will work?
BTW, I have a stock L-48 with headers and alum intake.

So I decided to spend a little more now and get what I would want to end up with later.
Thanks for the input!!!

I just recently purchased a March Performance Bracket for my 75 Vert.
I got it at Summit Racing. Fits perfectly and looks sharp.....

If you decide to stay stock PM me and I'll give you one off of a 77. It might take me a couple of days to get it for you as I would have to catch a buddy over to remove it. I just had corpal tunnel surgery so I only have a left hand that operates at the moment
