Explorer serpentine pws alt ac bracket D Hearne Help!!

The Explorer/Mountaieer accessory setups were unique unto themselves, the only part of these setups that interchanged with any other vehicles that I know of was the timing cover. You're not clear on what bracket you're talking about either.

Go buy a camaro, it's easier..........

All I have right now would be,

96 Explorer timing cover

96 explorer damper, with pulley attached

96 explorer Water Pump and pulley

So I guess i need the Power steering bracket, the Alt bracket, and the tensioners

From what I understand, the accessories bolt directly to the cylinder heads, on the Explorer/Mountaineer and the 94-95 Stang (it would also apply to the 88-93 T-Bird/Cougars as well, the 94-95 Stang setup was borrowed from those applications) I haven't had access to these setups to study them though so I cannot tell you for sure that this is true.

I have all this stuff if you want it . . . brackets, P/S pump, A/C compressor and alternator.

The stuff I have came on an '98 Explorer engine I purchased that I installed in my '70 Mustang. I used a set of '87-'93 Fox-body Mustang brackets, A/C compressor, P/S pump and '94-'95 130-amp alternator on mine, so I don't need them.

I'd sell all of it to you for $200 + shipping, and they should be in pretty good shape.

Let me know . . .

$200 is a bit more than I had planned, are you willing to negotiate?

If so PM me.

I just did a quick search on car-parts.com to find out the lowest prices for the parts; I found an A/C compress for $20 + shipping, an alternator for $20 + shipping, a P/S pump for $20 + shipping, and was unable to find any of the other components there, including the P/S pump reservoir, brackets, idlers, etc., so I looked on E-Bay.

E-Bay didn't have any brackets listed there for 5.0's, but they had a couple listed for 4.0's; the A/C bracket was listed at $25 + shipping and the P/S pump bracket was listed at $35. I think the reservoir is the same between the engines, and the lowest priced one I found was around $20 + $8 shipping.

If you put the figures all together, you have $120 for a mixture of prices for the V-6 and the V-8 as the lowest possible price I could find.

I figure I can make at least 25% more on the brackets listed there, and can probably make 10%-20% on the alternator, P/S pump and A/C compressor, so with that in mind, I'd sell you all the parts I have for $135 + shipping.

I don't know where you're located, but if there are any salvage yards around near you, you might be able to scrounge these parts up yourself for less than this amount, and I would encourage you to do that . . . you might end up with a great deal!
