Alright I'm going to remove the entire passenger bracket, put sliders on the alternator, change the water pump, and get a shorter belt.

What vehicles came with a long nose standard rotation water pump?

Where can I get a pulley for that water pump with serpentine grooves?

 

wow this ditching of the hole passnger sides becoming popler, i think im the frist?

 

i don`t think you`re the first but i also want to do this.will somebody please tell me how it can be done as well.PLEASE!

 

just gut the passger side, and rer-un your belt

 

would i have to get a different belt,and what would be used for tension?

 

youll have to make your alt, adjustabile.... pertty simple and basic stuff

 

can you post a pic on how you got yours to work as far as the alt being adjustable?what did you use.i hate to be a pest but i`m sure other people other than myself can learn from this as well.

 

I've been told a slider from a smog pump on a third gen works well, that's what I'm going to try and use. Does the water pump get enough tension from the belt this way? I the length of belt I will need depends on the sliders, but roughly what length will I need?

 

This ain't nothing new unless you aren't planning to run pwr stg..........

 

I had planned on keeping the alternator on the drivers side, however it could be done like that.

 

i like how you`ve got yours set DM91RS.do you have anymore pics of it?how did you get the new bracket to move the alt?

 

This was a first design bracket that I made years back........

 

did you just cut the power steering bracket in half?because it`s looks like at least half is still stock.

 

Yes I cut it.....see if this pic helps.

 

I measured the belt length to be exactly 50" or 127cm with a measuring tape. What would it be bad if I got the exact size or a 49.5" belt and put it on without making the alternator adjustable? If I got the correct amount of tension would that be a problem? I know that belts stretch over time, but how much? Are belts sized small to account for stretch?
