I realized a few weeks ago that I have not done an especially good job of marketing these handy brackets for mounting the 'canned ham' Saginaw pumps on the early Landcruisers. I started making and selling these 15 years ago, but I'm not sure I ever dedicated a classifieds thread to them!
The brackets are designed to bolt to the lower left side of the engine, where the alternator would be on an F engine, and the air pump would be on a 2F engine. I had seen a few people use a 2F air pump bracket for this purpose, but the bracket was a serious compromise in my opinion, because it held the pump too close to the bracket [limited pivot arc] too close to the block [limited pivot arc] and too small of a space between the ears [limited ability to align pulleys].
So I made my brackets taller, standing out from the engine block a little more, and with more spacing between the ears. They seem to work very well, and they've been selling ok for the last 15 years, even with the limited exposure on my website and a few mentions on the forum.
Brackets are PN 122-21A and are MUD priced at $85. I also have an adjuster bracket that gives a nice pivot arc for belt adjustment, utilizing a water pump bolt, the same as the original alternator or air pump would have. PN 122-21B, $29.95
