Default Alternator bracket

Where can I find an alternator bracket for my "80" on the drivers side using a long water pump. The motor is a custom built motor not stock. Thanks.

Matching up brackets can be a pain.

Perhaps more info please.

Why can you not use the original brackets? If I remember correctly, you are swapping the alt to the other side right?

Are your other accessories aligned ok? What are they? Small block?

I found a guy in town that had a bunch of old brackets. It gave me the option of just borrowing and trying them out. I bet if you ask around, you can find someone that can at least get you close.
