The existing alternator bracket require the attachment of an idler pulley. It can be any diameter and the location does not have to be in any exact position as long as it does not create interference with anything. I chose the area close to the curves because I figured it would be a more rigid part of the bracket and not flex as much as if I installed it somewhere in the middle of the flatter portion. This, however, limited my adjustment of the power steering to a fraction of what it used to be. Now all my adjustment is done at the alternator. It gets fastened with the new longer bolts and 5/8” round spacers between it and the water pump.
