OK, here is the clearer shot of the bracket installed. I am guessing this arrgt would be similar to yours? Anyway, when you get home you can advise. I will do a tracing of the bracket anyway as i am trying to get this thing together and once its bolted in I don't want to touch it!Attachment 69808

One big difference I see and a potential problem for me is that I am running 6 rib serpentine belts, not belts. I think the V belt arrangement leaves you with more space to do funky staff like this.

Thanks heaps for the photo. Will sus it out when I get home.

Graham,
have a look at some of the dual alternator setups if you have the serpentine belt. In my view these are easier to work with than the vee belts and you might be able to source a ready made bracket from the US that will work well, or at least set your mind in the right direction.

Sweet, did not know there were any dual alternator models. I might also touch base with the guys at Brunswick as they seem to know the engine inside out and back to front.

Havn't seen the truck for the last couple of weeks while Im up north, sort of missing it

You won't get much joy out of BD on this as I asked at the time of doing the conversion and 'nope' was the reply. I think the ambulance that were fitted with the chev diesels had dual alternators? Do a search on ebay.com under dual alternators 6.5 diesel and a number of them will come up - just need to be certain its for the right engine as the Duramax seems to feature a lot.

Mine is a Serpy belt accessory drive and has a Belt driven onboard Air Compressor running off an xtra wide pulley on the A/C comp... IE the AC, PS pump, Alt etc are standard serpy and a dinky little extra flat ribbed belt runs the Air Compressor.

Before anyone asks... my standard price for pics is $1,000 (add $500 for autograph if req'd)

Did you get the autograph too? Don't hold the photo up to a mirror! There is a myth about nil reflection, don't tempt the Gods (so to speak)!

A quick 6.5NA cooling update test today being the first 35D+ in Victoria for some six months now. Our severe hilly highway test strip out of the valley was seeing well over 100D last season and today couldn't break 95D (not towing or loaded/ute). Only 2 x setup differences since last seasons mods. 1st being AC Delco TS's that showed great stability over warm high headwind winter runs to SA. 2nd being the recent test removal of the bar/lights/winch that came with it at purchase a few years back. Swapped our factory alloy bar onto it and ran some 10-15% cooler than known before.Pic below was its original bar & kit now on our family wagon. The family rig doesn't have a real temp gauge yet but is today running the same hill at 3/4 instead of its usual 2/3rds tops! It is all very logical stuff I know but really needed to see the difference myself before saving/spending too much on next bullet proof hopeful steps!
