IMCO ALT/PS Bracket
 

Is anyone using the IMCO Alternator and Power Steering combination bracket?
Part # PSA-111
I am interested in how it mounts and what is used for an adjustment bar for the alternator.
I called to order the part #AB-105 alternator bracket (this lowers the alternator) and inquired about the part #PB-106 power steeering bracket and how it locates on the starboard side of the motor and if it interferes with the Seawater Pump.
IMCO suggested the combination bracket part #PSA-111.
Looking for feedback.

I am using that bracket on my power steering engine. Makes the belts really short. They don't come off at high rpm anymore. Made my own adjustment arm. I also am using their crank pulley. It is a little smaller & helps slow the belts down.

I am also using that bracket because I wanted to be able to use shorter belts once the circulating pump was removed. I fabricated an adjuster that works like a turnbuckle. It is a piece of small dia. heavy wall aluminum tube that has been threaded internally on either end to accept a rod end. One end is std thread and the other is reverse so it is easy to apply tension to adj the belt.

Chief sells a really nice turn-buckle that works perfectly with that bracket.Makes it really easy to adjust and looks great.

I'm using the bracket too. I took the adjusting bracket off the sea water pump and then ran a turnbuckle between the alternator and the sea pump. The same buckle tightens both of them. I got mine from March performance. They have a very nicely polished aluminum center rod, but I didn't care for the chrome moly eyes. I replaced them with some stainless ones from McMaster Carr. Don't forget to use to jamb nuts. One isn't good enough.

Does anyone have a photograph of this set-up?

I'll try to shoot a pic tomorrow. I haven't installed mine yet.
PM me your email address and I will send you a high resolution picture or two.
The IMCO site doesn't really depict the size of the bracket.

Just make sure you check the stringer centers. I tried to use one on my 251 Convinosr and it lower it right into the stringer so I could not use it, I still have it if anyones interested.
