Just seeing this for the first time. The bracket is made wide purposely to maximize pulley alignment. I use an ordinary bolt front and back to determine optimum alignment, then cut a sleeve from a small pipe to take up the gap between the pump bracket and the pump, pull out the bolts and insert the sleeve.

Starting to get serious about saginaw pump install(not in final position). I have an early rad. shroud at the powder coaters but it looks like im going to have to trim either one. Also got sick of moving the removable shield from the splash guard around the garage.

Wait, I thought this tub was solid?

It will need some love. Solid for OH. I priced the wheel well patches and curved rear quarter patch and the entire panel is less expensive. Drivers floor needs patched where the previous roll cage sat, and outer rocker has some rot.
Lol, there is no such thing as a 40 tub that doesn't have some rust, especially on the rear sill. I own a 69' and I ended up cutting off the entire rear tub from the "B" post back and replacing it with custom sheet metal and tube. The tub didn't look that bad at all from outward appearances but the darn thing literally started to fall apart when I began breaking the panel spot welds..
That being said, this is a really quality frame-off, I love the attention to detail here and the loyalty to Toyota parts.

Showoff! All the rest of us common folk have to anchor the adjuster bracket with a water pump bolt...and use the front of the pump!

Looking good! As soon as I get my bracket back from the powder coater I will be tackling this project!

I just hope the tensioner bracket being upside down doesn't cause issues with tightening the belt. Worst case, it looks like ill just need to loosen the mounting nut to adjust the angle if needed.
