Accessory Bracket

I went and picked up the bracket this week and snapped a couple of pics for everyone.  Hopefully with the pictures that are already up and these you can see how it all works.

This one is the side profile. If we start on the left side of the picture and move to the right we have the top mounting bolt, alternator boss, 2 mounting bolts, idler pulley support, and power steering bosses.

Here is what you would see from the front of the motor. The left most part curves to match the side of the block.

Well I'm going to go see what I can get done of the exhaust this morning.

Accessory bracket

Well the accessory bracket is pretty much done.  It holds the alternator and power steering pump nicely.  I tried to keep the weight low in the car and put the pump at the bottom so it doesn't leak into the alternator.  Hopefully the Audi one doesn't leak like the Porsche system does.  I had a local guy machine a mounting boss for the idler pulley that you can see in the pictures and then welded it into the bracket.  The power steering pump uses three bolts to hold it in like the original Audi mount used and the alternator uses a lower pivot and the adjuster from the Porsche engine.  I had to shorten the adjuster 2.5 inches to make it usable.  Just cut of the nut on one side, cut the tube down to size and weld the nut back on.  The two rod ends needed about .5 inches removed from each end also.  The engine side mount for the adjuster is welded to the bottom of the lifting eye that bolts to the cylinder head.  I don't think I will have any problems with belt squeal, hopefully.  Soon I will drop it by the powder coater and post pics of the bracket by itself.
