Title: Alt brackets for elect. water pump
Post by: gregaba on March 13, 2019, 04:12:36 PM

Does anybody sell alternator bracket and power steering brackets to work with jayb's  electric water pump adapters.
I checked the FE Power website but didn't see any.

Jays adapter are designed to work with factory style brackets, so those are your first option. I haven't looked into specific companies for aftermarket brackets, but I know they exist. I'd assume March offers some sort of billet style bracket, along with several others.

A quick Google Shopping search came up with lots of them for alternators. Note that there are small block and Y-block mixed in with the search though, so you have to scroll through to find FE specific ones. I'm sure doing a similar search for power steering pumps would produce similar results....

Edit to say that I should have said Jay OFFERS adapters to work with factory style brackets. He also offers adapters with no holes or machined in areas for brackets.

Places like West Coast Classic Cougar sell reproductions of the Power Steering bracket that works with Jay’s water pump adapters, and some carry used alternator & power steering brackets too. Here’s a link:

Thanks for the advice.
I will check them out.
I have the originals but they are really rough.

Unless you are going for dress up brackets the Standard ford parts with one slight cut work perfectly. Jay sends the template to make the cut, takes 10 minutes for the alternator. I don't have power steering so I can't vouch for that bracket.

I kind of would like to dress it up.
With the intake cut out and all the aluminum I just hate to put the ratty brackets I have on it.
I found some on the net but haven't ordered them yet.
Thanks
