ARCHIVE Bringing back the York OBA bracket and pulley kit!

Fwiw Both mounting plates have oversized hole and oversized slot, same as the sample. The front foot has a .5 hole and the rear foot has a .47

So adjusting everything forward should get things pretty damn close.

nope.... the back bolt barely fit to begin with... that was my hope originally but was no good....

Im actually about to see if I can drill some different mounting holes to run my Motocraft pump, its pretty close some Im curious

if that works, ill send you the measurements so guys can run a single rib pulley

The measurements relative to my bracket would be ideal. That way I can plan them in on the next run.
 
Currently id need to move the compressor back 1 " which would require more material in the bottom bolt hole closest to the header

The top bolt hole would also be right where the bracket welds on

Okay all you lurkers, i've made my local phone calls so Im coming back here, what a lot of people dont know....... I spun a rod bearing over the weekend, and im not going to pursue fixing the current 4.5 or swapping a different one in

I have a one kit available, brand new in the box, i am going to charge what I paid + shipping....... So who missed out, I can have a shipping quote done up as early as tomorrow, what ill want is payment upfront to hold the unit and Ill invoice you the remainder my expectation is it will be around 20-30 to ship. Ill include the proper hardware in the box which will be the first time its been opened

Yep!
 
thanks @SorachiAce SOLD, ill get it out tomorrow morning!
 
How close is too close. Got everything lined up but my belt caught that corner on the engine. Took the dremel and grinder down the corner. I got about a millimeter or two between the belt and engine. Is this too close? I can't see how the belt would flex up to touch that spot but hell, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Can you take a pic getting the front of the idler pulley but as low you can get and as wide as you can? I need to see the relation of the idler to the York. I need to see how much room I have to adjust it.

The truck I had here had about 3/8" of space. Not great but should be ok.
 
This is about as good a pic as I could get. The second pic is straight on from the front. I put my phone about as deep between the pulley and fan as I could.

Hope this helps.

It does help. Looks like I need to move the idler pulley maybe 1/2" to the left. I don't think there is anything there to get in the way and it will eliminate the potential need to grind down the corner of the head. Its odd, the one I had here and the one at the fabricators wasn't that close.
 
Or maybe just a shorter belt to get the idler pulley down further and thus the belt angle changes enough to get it lower? Believe it or not its actually easier to just move the idler structure over than it is to find a shorter belt. Toyota doesn't number their belts in ANY way that denotes its length.

@NLXTACY saw your making the 3 belt pulley. Any ideas on making an alternator bracket that would go in the same place as the York.

Any ideas? Well it takes finding the Toyota part numbers for the SA version and getting the brackets or making a bracket. I suppose I could make a bracket that fits a standard AISIN alt or even a Delco but it's not something that would sell well at all. At least not well enough to recouped costs and I'm trying hard to not lose money on every product I develope :P

I could see using a second alt as a dedicated welding unit. That would at least be interesting but again, I can't image there would be enough interest in it.
 
Same problem as Razorback, but I'm working on a different solution. My pulley on the York measures 6", that may be part of the problem if there is a bigger one? Some of my bolts are too long or the threads need to be chased so half of them aren't all the way in since I'm just mocking it up right now. I found that using 4 washers the same size as the ones people are using to space the idler pulley will space the York out from the bracket and give it a little better clearance. The washers add up to about .4" inch and it gives me a little clearance. I have some steel plate that I may use instead since washers look pretty crappy.

For sure the hardware is too long. I sent out a second package of hardware that went separately. Did you get that? Or are the bolts you have in the shorter bolts? Two are 25mm x M8 x 1.25 and the other two are 25mm x M10 x 1.25. Originally I sent out 30mm long hardware. Those are wrong. Please do not use washers on the bracket bolts.
