I will make a few for SOOR and bring them along with some other stuff. When
I tried to access the alternator pix, I got an error message. Is the link
correct?

Is the alternator still cinched down by a bolt on the back-side of the slotted arm? I have a buddy with a machine shop that could probably knock out dozens of these.

I just noticed that Jim Hupy will make these - good news!
Billy - don't ever bother with the power steering pump again. Buy the double pulley, push the PS pump all the way out and adjust the tension from the alternator with Jim's new tensioner! Maybe Jim K can put together a package - Double Pulley, Tensioner, and Matched Belts.
I think we need a fund-raiser for the GMC Net, or something!

He just found this one in a wrecking yard.
Actually it's just the stock bracket that I fitted adjusting screw parts from the wrecking yard to. If you can drill a hole than you can make it yourself. You just need to get the right pieces from a donor bracket at your local bone yard.I plan on posting some follow up pics and info later this week.

these aren't quite the magic bullet that they appear. i've had cars with these in the past and the adjusting nut is bad about galling and rusting to the threads. they have to be maintained to work properly. i have no problem using a pry bar for both units although i admit it takes a friend to tighten the nuts.

G'day,
I had asked John Sharpe to send me some pictures of the one he has for the
alternator with some measurements so I could make some for the guys
Downunder.
Fred,
Good point, do you reckon it would help if the bolt was made of stainless
steel and the parts they thread through were made of brass?

that might help but probably some never seize would work too.
