Just wanted to start yet another thread over the alternator relocation topic. I know this has been asked many times but most of the threads are years old and replies recommend companies that don't have a product for it anymore or even no longer exist altogether. Basically I am trying to move my alternator either down to the AC compressor location or somewhere similar. Essentially I cannot have the alternator hanging off either side of the heads as my turbo manifolds go straight through that area. I would like something that either can run off the main belt drive WHILE retaining stock water pump abilities as I want to avoid a Mezier or similar if possible or something that runs off the AC belt drive so I can still run a tensioner on the main drive to spin the water pump. The car has no power steering either so that pulley is no issue.
I really would like to stay away from the Holley bracket if possible for my own reasons, so if anyone has any ideas I am totally open to trying something.
For anyone that may stumble across this thread in the future, Kasper Fabrication does still make a bracket that fits the needs of what I had previously mentioned. You just have to call and request it!
I can take some better pictures once I'm back home, but these are the couple I took when I was doing it. Please don't mind the mess, I need to clean up badly lol. When you call him he'll ask you to measure the pulley size on your alternator and send the correct belt with it.

I ran that bracket in the past. I had to get a tighter belt to stop it from flying off. But I was also turning ~8000rpms. Just something to be aware off. Might need to step down the belt size if you have issues.
I know this is an old thread but I have similar but different reasons for moving the alternator location. Do you think any of these options allow me to keep the ac and power steering? 2008 c6 z06.
