Reproduction alternator/power steering brackets
Hey fellas....long story short, Ive got a broken lower power steering pump bracket on the 454 in my 74. I may also be looking to replace the adjuster bracket for the ps and alt, as Im missing the rearward bolt hole that goes to the exhaust manifold/header.
Are the reproductions of these parts good, or has anyone had more headaches with these pieces not lining up properly etc?
Thanks for any input.

On my 73 SB 350 I used the Paragon aftermarket power steering bracket set (sold as a kit). I had no problem with them. Lined up perfectly. Note: the SB uses a different bracket set than the BB. Just giving you my experience with my situation. Good luck, Russ

Thanks that’s the kind of info I was looking for. As much as I’d rather have original brackets, since they should fit properly, at least I don’t have to scour eBay searching for parts they have probably been repaired or crazy expensive NOS stuff.

If you have a correct stock bracket that is broken, you can weld it up or replace it. In general, buying replacement parts is a 'crapshoot': it might LOOK like stock...it might not; it might WORK like stock...it might not. I will ALWAYS save an original part, if I can.
