hey so i found a bracket that would work for my power steering pump but i was having lots of problems with the alt. i finally found out wat the problem was, i was using a short water pump and the shorty doesnt have bolt holes where they needed to be so i switched it to a long pump and sure enough the bracket that i had for my alt basically fits! i say basically because there is one arm of the bracket that needs to be bolted into the intake, but my intake is different than the one on the vehiclethat the bracket came off of but it will be a decently easy fix
so enough talking heres some pics

Yours is coming along. =) Are you putting the inner fenders back in?

Not much progress, been doing little things on my Jimmy. Finally got my steering shaft put together. Flaming river joints and a borgeson shaft. Couldn't figure out how to safely get the joints apart to powder coat them too. Much nicer than the stock unit.



Edit: Forgot I had this pic from last month.

So both accessories line up on the same groove? Dude if I don't have this thing done by Thunder in the Valley (Aug), I will die. As soon as I get done a few mods on my jimmy, I will focus on the blazer. I just want to fire the beast up. I love open headers.

thanks zed!
but ya they both line up on the same groove of the pulley
so i obviously cant run 1 belt so i need to move one of them inwards so it will fit on the other groove
such a pain in the a$$ cause i painted my power steering bracket and everything now im going to have to cut it and blah blah

but you will have it done by then!
well u beter anyways cause i wanna race

Yeah sounds like it'll be easier to mod the steering bracket. Didn't build this to be a racer, just not practical for what I wanted. But we'll see
