UPDATE: Slimmer, stainless steel nuts are now included in the kit so you don’t have to provide your own and there will be more room for spacers. Also, additional spacers ( not shown in the video) have been added to the kit to reduce or eliminate the need to modify any of the spacers.
I replaced the giant OE alternator bracket with a small polished billet one and deleted the tension pulley. All with a kit from Altered Fox that’s less than $40.
Bracket kit: alteredfox.com...
Why do this? 1) reduced weight - over 5 lbs. 2) provides better route for serpentine belt when other components are removed. 3) cleans up the engine bay and 4) it looks awesome!
If you have the similar kit that Summit sells, you can order just the supplement from Altered Fox, which includes 2 sleeves, 2 nuts and instructions. Here’s a video that explains the differences between the kits: • alternator bracket sup...

Got the new alternator bracket installed. Absolutely love it and everything fit perfect. I was able to get rid of my smog pump pulley, tensioner and the heavy ass bracket. Thank you!! The other thing that is nice, is when I upgrade to a 3g alternator I don't have to do any modifications.

Glad I found this video somehow. I don't have power steering or AC, so I have to manually adjust the tensioner with the belt running backwards on it, and it keeps slipping and squealing. This should resolve my problem, although I bet I'll get a bit of slip under WOT. Ordered, and thank you!

So I now have mine installed. It took a 41" belt. It works like a charm and no slipping on the water pump. It works perfectly. My only constructive criticism would be that the sleeve that goes on the water pump bolt is about 1cm too long (same as in the video). I cut it, but it got pretty scuffed up trying to cut it. It'd be nice if the kit came with an extra sleeve option for that one bolt. But for guys who have only an alternator and water pump for accessories, this kit works!

The tensioner rod should have the adjustment notch at the top near the alternator, will make it much easier to adjust
@Foxedup
@Foxedup 3 года назад
I agree, it would be easier for sure. It might get a little thin where the hole is threaded through.

You were saying the belt size was 64 and 3/4. Is that for stock pulleys or do you have smaller water pump and crank pulley? I have the same setup as you without the smog pump and no AC as well but I have BBK water pump and crank pulley.
@Foxedup
@Foxedup Год назад
It’s gonna be a lot of measuring and trial and error I’m afraid. I’m not 100% sure what pulleys are on my car. If you have your old belt, you can cut it, route it around, and mark where it meets. That’ll usually get you within an inch or so.

Not being mean or rude, but you wasted all that time and money when I was, you had to do was reroute the belt by the crank and the water pump in a different direction and it would’ve fit perfect and there would’ve been no rubbing at all. I found a picture that a guy made on how to route the belt, a different way, and it worked perfect for me. Because I did the smog pump and AC delete and my belt wanted to rub like what you were having but now it’s perfect the other way, and the water pump still turns counterclockwise. As the crank turns clockwise.

Which way does your water pump spin? And what else is hooked to your motor? I am running just water pump and alternator and I barely have any surface area on the water pump, it slips at high rpm
@Foxedup
@Foxedup 2 года назад
It’s all stock reverse rotation. You’ll see I have my belt routed differently than most. That provides more surface area for the belt. I’ve got the alternator and power steering. No AC or smog.

Hello, i am having some problems installing this kit. Here is the thing.I am not using the OEM alternator,using a larger alternator.. When i try to fit the bolt that goes with the bracket to the alternator does not lines up like in the video., i guess due to the larger alternator. Now, if i i put the bracket upside down it does fit perfectly. Can i install that bracket that way? Its the bracket used to hold the turnbuckle on the alternator side.
@Foxedup
@Foxedup Год назад
@@albruno6411 what people usually do is just grind away a little on the inside radius of that small bracket. If it works upside down, then that could be a solid solution too.

Do you think i can do away with the bulky alternator bracket and tensioner on a 2000 Isuzu Trooper? Just use an old alternator bracket you tighten with a pry bar and then tighten the alternator? My alternator bracket has at least 3 bolts broke off in the block.

@Foxedup
@Foxedup 2 года назад
I think I ended up with 64 3/4”. The best way is to Cut your old belt wrap it around and then mark where the end reaches and then measure. And then you’ll still probably have to get a size or two above and below that until you find the right one. Not sure 100% if I have all factory pulleys.
