Default Low mount Alternator

Looking for a driver side low mount alternator bracket that will fit. Anybody know which one fits? There are hundreds out there just want to buy one that is proven. Going on a 1981 Vette sbc. Went with electric water pump and need the low mount to clear pump.

Where are you planning on mounting the power steering pump? Isn't that right where you want to mount the alternator?

Wow, on an '81. I'm guessing you deleted that yourself?

All the low mount alternator brackets I have looked at before said they would not fit most production cars including the Corvette.

Here are some old pics just to look at if you are interested. It has come along way since these pics but you can see the tubing in these.
