65/69 Alternator Bracket???

[tjm73]

I've been trying to find an OEM plain painted steel alternator bracket set for a 289/302 engine from 65-69. I have found chrome plated kits, but I am slowly gathering parts for a street rod project and I don't want chrome.

From what I can tell there are 4 parts to the set. 2 bracket piece, along bolt and a spacer. Does anyone know where I could get these 4 parts for very little $$?

A junkyard.

A junkyard.

Thanks for the obvious, but there few if any early Mustangs in the junkyards in Upstate NY. If there were any around I'd go and get the parts, that's why I came here and posted my question.

O.K. then, no you can't get them cheap. Most Mustang vendors offer every part you need, but they are not cheap.

Hey tjm 73
there is a mustang bone yard in NH. I cant rember the name of it tho. I will do some research and find out maybe you can call and have the part mailed to you.

Here are the 2 main parts in chrome from the Mustangs Unlimited website. There is also a long bolt and a spacer tube. I can make the spacer tube and buy a longer bolt at the hardware, but these two brackets in plain/painted steel are what I want to find.

what happen to the old ones off the car in the first place? cant you just wire brush them and paint them?

Just asking, what's wrong with buying a chrome set and painting them or powder coating them? I mean it's almost impossible to find the stock/non chrome ones and you would have to paint or powder coat them too so what's the difference?
Otherwise check for junk yards online. There are a bunch that are online and some are Mustang only junk yards; although those will be more expensive.
Here's what I could find:

It's simple really. I am going to be building a 302 powered street rod and I want to run the alternator and alternator bracket from a 65/69 V8 Mustang because it is clean looking and low. But it's going to be a rat rod kind of thing and that means no chrome. Plus I don't like a lot of chrome on cars.

I was havin trouble finding the parts I'm looking for cause they are kinda obscure and not a popular parts to find, so I came here figureing you guys could maybe point me in the right direction to find what I need.

Look at the fourth item down on this page for $13.95.

I would call and ask if this is both pieces. The two bolts and spacer can be found at www.npdlink.com. Look for "bolt kit,alternator mounting 10347".

Impossiblle? You just don't know where to look for this stuff. Or ask the right people. There are tons of these parts out there, just takes a little effort to find them.
