Close... It is March "style" brackets. They're about $100 I believe, on eBay or any of the parts places, for both brackets. I modified the alternator side be trimming the turnbuckle to mount the alt upside down. Pulleys themselves are the typical aluminum underdrive set. Quite simple and q...

Re: To pull and sell or not

Re: Explorer v8 accessory drive
Tech tip: Use all-thread for intake bolts that are longer than 6", works like a charm!
And, just because you didn't actually say it, you do need the Ex balancer/pulley if you choose to run the Ex accessories.

Re: L&L Mounts bad or just used?

And so far after your replacement, you're still only into this for $.01cgrey8 wrote:
Anyway, it is interesting to know those nuts are available from somewhere on the Internet. Although I'm sure you pay a premium for them.

Re: How difficult is it to replace a steering box?

Re: L&L Mounts bad or just used?
I would take the opportunity to install some urethane Mustang mounts at this time.
But I'm never offended by a cheaper solution, either!
