[QUOTE="Pioneer~Saturn, post: 5928040, member: 569334"] Yea, I posted up in a local car forum for someone with good welding skills/engine component knowledge and this guy has done all my custom bracketry for my alt's for next to nothing ($). I'd suggest doing the same, just looking at local car forums if you have any or checking out anywhere near you that has custom car guys that could give you a hand. I think people need to get more creative with their alternators, just think it through...if you have belt slip try a slightly shorter belt...if it still is bad look into ways to MAKE it grip better, you may have to take 'drastic' approaches such as custom fab'ing an idler pulley near your alt's pulley or heck, maybe even two (one on both sides of the alt's pulley for crazy belt wrap)...just get creative and if you find someone with good welding+metal skills you can make it work no-sweat and they should understand what youre trying to do as well so it should be no sweat. Hopefully my idler pulley situation gets finished in the near future though, im just hoping then if there's enough grip it doesnt stall my engine at idle [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif[/IMG]...
