[QUOTE="IUP99snake, post: 9597784, member: 7060"] Speaking of the bracket, have you noticed any bracket flex? I saw a few of the pics you posted of the bracket, and it looks the same as mine with the small studs coming from the head. Just to double check, how many studs does your bracket have? 3 or 4? Mine only has 3, but in your pics, it looks like there's an extra one there, but I could be mistaken. Have you noticed any bracket flex issues with the 8 rib setup? Is there less flex than with the 6 rib setup? I still have really bad bracket flex, even with a "blower brace" made by the now defunct "Morpheus Performance" that connects the top of the bracket to the alternator bracket. Actually, the bracket does more harm than good, because when I get on it, the blower flexes, and the "brace" then holds it in the flexed position, throwing belts! I wonder if there is anything we can do to improve the rigidity of the P1/D1/F1 4V bracket without having to upgrade to the cog setup. Maybe drill extra studs? Upgrade the studs to beefier grade 8? Bigger bolts (I always worry about stripping the nuts). How do you deal with it? Ever thrown an 8 rib belt yet? I'll bet those are expensive to replace! Beautiful work, by the way! Homer [/QUOTE]
