Hello,
I just installed the HSR on my camaro and the old alternator support doesn't fit. It is the support bar that goes from the alternator to the water neck mounting stud/bolt. I figured maybe an alternator support from a tbi of the same year might fit but I can't seem to find one. Any body have any part numbers?

Thanks!

 

I dont run a SR but when I added an aftermarket intalke I needed to weld up a bracket to utilize the header bolts as a source of support.

 

I didnt use the metal bar on mine.

 

Dont need the metal bar from the top of the alt to the intake remove it as long as you got the two alt bolts in at the top ad bottom ur find

 

I did this https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/alte...bracketry.html Worked good. Just sanded and painted chrome black.

I used stock alt support bar. Just cut to lenght and rotated the end a bit to align and welded. #1 header bolt with a threaded coupling (female to female) to threaded rod to head with another threaded rod at opposite end of coupling with a nut. I can post a pic?

 

Mine is a serpentine car 88-92 not the 87 and older. Dont know if they have to have it or not.

 

Thanks for the tips!
I actually ended up using a 1/8" thick piece of steel that I found in our scrap pile at work. Cut it to proper length, twisted it with a pair of channel locks, since the ends oppose each other at 90 degree angle and drilled holes in the ends. I will post a pic of this later when I get a chance.

Thanks!

 

Not needed

 

87sleeper...where did you get that upper radiator hose and what is it originally for? Thanks.

 

I believe it was the hose for a 1988 firebird formula with the Tbi intake.

 

Its from a Monte Carlo V8 86 or 87. I think its the same for both years. I had to cut about 1 3/4" of one of the ends to get good bends. It fits perfect.
