im starting back building my ute and going big single turbo now i need to relocate the alternator lower or to the drivers side but i want to keep the power steering as it will be driven a fair bit and don't want to live without it. just wondering if anyone has done it got any pics any help would be great thanks

its ugly but you can get a alt/ps 1 piece bracket off an old 308 torana/vb or similar. it goes on the drivers side. you can also buy a low mount (drivers side) standalone alt bracket off ebay, just be carefull with chassis rail clearance though

if you don't want ugly then go manual steering

There are plenty of nice ways to do it without power steering. I'm looking to do the same but only option is custom or too modify the air con bracket etc

DNA motor sport do a bracket to change the power steering and alternator to the drivers side. Have to change it to late model pump and alternator though. Looks amazing just have to contract them on a price. And hopefully I'm sitting down when I get it lol

Single turbo nice any pics of your manifolds pipework etc mate ?

Not as yet just getting the brackets and stuff sorted out and just order merge collectors ect from the states and about to order the turbo I'm in no real rush as the cars been collecting dust for about two years after I put the cage in. Going to minni tub the rear too so I think it's going to take a while.

Problem with the DNA kit is they use their own custom timing cover. Which has bolts located in different places.

there is some nice looking aftermarket alternator brackets you could use that go in the stock vn-vt 5l spot and look good, just google and see what you come up with i forgot who makes em now

modify a steel aircon bracket with solidmount alternator mounts. with patients and time its fair easy and tidy looking too.

The DNA kit would defiantly be In excess of $1000-1500 Quote: Originally Posted by holdenV8 [View Post] there is some nice looking aftermarket alternator brackets you could use that go in the stock vn-vt 5l spot and look good, just google and see what you come up with i forgot who makes em now He wants to relocate due to going turbo. Would assume I would be in the way of his dump pipe.

Yeah I seen a picture ages ago but can't find it for the life of me. I'd prefer something a bit neater tho. I spoke to DNA. No go with the kit. Only suits their full bracket setup.
