Alternato Bracket

[SWBuechler]

I have a Chevy short block 5.7L engine I put in my Glasply. At the same time I converted from log style exhaust manifolds to center risers. Unfortunately the alternator used to attach to the underside of the log style exhaust. Now I have to have a front mount bracket that will allow the alternator to be mounted ABOVE the power steering pump on what, in a car, would be the driver's side or port on the boat. I'm having a LOT of trouble finding the right mounting attachments. Can anyone help?

The 1996 model should work, it sits above the ALT, item A in link below.

Google "Mercruiser 15083T" and shipwreck salvage has NOS, and there are others for main bracket, also one on ebay for $25
Then look for 15082T for the brace item 5

That appears to be the Power Steering bracket. I need a front mount bracket for the Alternator. It hangs ABOVE the Power Steering unity.

Oh, you want to mount the ALT above the PS pump. I'll keep looking but I think it would be easier to mount the ALT low and the pump high

Edit any possibility of mounting the ALT on the other side?

Here is one where Volvo Penta mounted it in your configuration. Issue will be is pars for VP are high and if you can find them


Or go serpentine but then you need to change your water pump because it will rotate in the opposite direction
