[Vwdiesel] Need a bracket...

[Kurt Nolte]

A Cabrio conversion is going to be much, much easier to find a non-AC 
bracket for your alternator. It's a transverse setup like a vast 
majority of the donor diesels out there; you can even get a no-AC 
serpentine setup to drive your alternator and water pump from a Canadian 
AAZ engine.

My conversion is a Fox, where the radiator sits beside the engine, which 
is mounted in a north-south configuration along the long axis of the 
car. I don't have the room to use the transverse brackets, which throw 
the alternator, AC, power steering and what have you on the water pump 
side of the engine (Front, in those cars) in the space between the 
engine block and the front-mounted radiator. The longitudinal 
arrangement of my engine limits my donors for brackets and mounts to 
Dashers and Quantums. :(
