Well, the alternator relocation kit i've been talking about has finally been released. Myself and one other board member tested fitted the kit about 2 months ago.
Fit and Finish
There are no issues that have been commonly associated with these kits (from a different vendor). There is plenty of room between the pulley and the frame rail. No "frame modification" is necessary. The kit is comprised of two CNC'd brackets and a tension arm that uses 2 heim joints as well as all mounting accessories and a new belt. All pieces are of great quality as seen in the pics. Also, either set of ribs on the crank pulley can be utilized by moving the spacer on the alternator mount to the opposite side (even more clearance than in my pic).
Installation
Installation was a breeze. Using supplied and existing bolts the two CNC'd brackets are bolted to the block and then installation of the alternator is simple from the top. Took all of an hour including rewiring.
NOTE- The production kit will come with detailed instructions (w/ pics) from what i'm told.
Price
The kit is listed at $125 on the site. Much cheaper than the other kit on the market.
Overall Impression
I am extremely satisfied with the product. I was in the market for a relocation kit and have had some bad experiences with the "other" kit out there. I was thrilled to hear that someone else was developing one. I could not be happier with the quality of the product as well as the price.
