i have a holden EFI 304 v8 that is mounted low and about 150mm behind the
firwall of my patrol :cool:
The problem is now the alternator is cant go back on because the chassis is in the way.

will an older HQ style bracket fit on? might pay to look around some of the old car mags for pic than go searching wrecking yards for a bolt on bracket

This is on my 308, made the bracket out 8mm plate and just found myself a longer belt.

I made my own brackets to mount it as high as I could.

The swing arms are bolted to the head and the top bracket is a fixed arm that bolts to the water pump .
