Vette C4 accessory brackets

Surprised that this doesn't seem to be coming up in my searches but......
Will any/all of the C4 brackets work on our cars? Serpentine.

I have a LOT of wasted bracket space under the hood now and want to get rid of it.

Nobody has a clue?

Polishing these heavy stock behemoths would not be worth it. Powdering won't give a good enough finish. Chrome plating is too expensive for the size of these brackets.

We must have some options out there.

Someone??

Anyone??

I have a clue. Clue #1. The 84-91 Corvette uses the short water pump with a 3/4" pilot shaft. So, you'd probably need the whole setup.

That sucks about the vette stuff. It's much smaller than ours.
Anyone have pics of bead blasted brackets? Glass media?
Are there any aftermarket brackets that fit the 92 TPI stock locations? All I'm finding is crap that moves things around. I like where my stuff is not how it looks or how much it weighs.

Bead blasting IS glass media... glass bead. It looks like brand new, lightly polished aluminum. Pics of it will show it just looking like fresh aluminum, but in person it looks much better. I've done a few aluminum intakes and brackets that way and it looks great.

*shrug* remove the brackets and drill some holes in them, to lighten them and to make them look different

That's what guys do with old Fiat Spiders, remove the cam pulleys and timing cover, drill the pulleys, powdercoat black, leave the cover off .. and show off
