Roush TVS 4.6 3v 2009-2010 supplemental alternator bracket

No clutch on the alt?

I might make some 8 rib pullies this summer. I have a big okuma lathe that could crank them out at the rate of 30 an hour... unmanned as it's got a bar feeder.

I love when the tools I need are already loaded.

Yes i have a clutch...

you in the manufacturing business as well?

Today was my most productive day for finishing shop projects in a while.

holy cow

Yeah, that would be $1000 easy. Except now the 2nd set will be $200.

That clutch presses in?

It's just a regular 8 rib clutch pulley that I had to modify to get the right backspacing but now I will be running the DOB Denso..

water pump working out well for you?

Yeah so far the electric water pump is great. it frees up a little power and helps in combating heat soak.

I have a design ready to go that fits 05-10 3v Mustangs equipped with a TVS or M90 supercharger.

My guy says 5 figures to set it up but he's kind of a pessimist. I'll do some research as to what other setups are selling for, it seems like everyone wants pullies but nobody can make money selling them. The cheapest way would be a batch run from overseas, but I don't want to bother with that.

 

[Vallee]

Yes i know...

eighty6gt,

You did a phenomenal job on those brackets, it fits like a glove first try.. I am extremely pleased with your workmanship. All I have to do now is prime and paint them and it will look OEM - I love it...

Thank you very much!

Oh boy, I love this thread.

Awful nice for something that won't ever be seen. Still not seeing why it wasn't done a week ago using a bench vise, a scrap of metal, a hammer and a grinder. Could have made one in less than an hour including painting it.

His finished product appears to be aprx 1/4" thick steel. Have fun bending 1/4" steel plate in a vice. Being that thick, you also have to factor in the bending radius, etc...which requires extra length. Dunno how thick it really has to be to work properly, I'm guessing 1/8" thick minimum. 5/32 or 3/16 would probably also work.
Dunno how much stress is on it either...in normal operation. Aluminum might also work, but I have not had success in the past, trying to bend aluminum plate at a 90 deg angle, it ends up with stress marks and hairline cracks, but that was using 3/16 al plate.

 

[eighty6gt]

I bend a ton of 3/16 alu to 90 - .152 radius is about what it winds up at, not at work can't recall. 5052, which is cheese. Pretty decent material for semi structural stuff.

Glad the part worked!

How many brackets would you like to order? Operators are standing by!

I was bending the al plate in a huge vice.. with next to no bending radius.... abrupt, sharp 90 deg bend. I believe it was 6061-T6 plate..which is almost brittle. 5052 has a nice shiny finish, but it's yield strength is way down from 6061-T6. 5052 is a lot softer. What else that might work is 6061-T2 /3/4..... but I have never see it available in the lesser heat treated versions.

What I probably should have done is used a mandrel or small diam rod to bend it over, to make a more gradual bend...or perhaps used some heat 1st.

Al is fun to work with, doesn't rust, high yield strength. Easy to drill /machine / cut / weld/ cut threads into, powder coat, anodize, etc.
