Default Aftermarket alternator brackets

I'd like to get rid of this ugly oem bracket for something that's lighter weight and more appealing to look at. I have a Cartek direct drive. Anyone have any experience with any aftermarket kits?

I bought the CTS-V accessories that mounts the alternator down low and the Power Steering up top... Can't find anybody that has done the conversion, so I guess I'm the guinea pig... Looks like it will fit, I'll have to fab up some lines for the PS, and the harness for the alternator looks long enough...

I have the cartek direct drive. My alternator is mounted high on the drivers side. Was hoping someone made a nice one.

Not yet.... I've collected a pile of parts and built a power train dolly to do the heads and other mods at the same time.... it's next in line though, and I'll post pics

Interesting idea with the CTS-V mount, I'm getting away from power steering soon and would like to mount the alternator lower. I will investigate.
