My 98 style low mount alternator bracket arrived today! I installed it right away, and let me say I am quite impressed with the craftsmanship. I am a union sheet metal worker by trade, and work with metal on a daily basis. The mount came painted, and included hardware! It's bolts right in place and is rock solid, well worth the price to save yourself the hassle of making one! Thanks again Dan for the great product, I will be recommending you too anyone who asks for swap parts, or any Fiero needs! As promised, here are some pictures of the bracket bolted to my E85 fueled, built L67 powered Formula.
Still up and running and things going quite smoothly, most cases harnesses are down to one week or less turn around and full kits around two weeks turn around. Dan
I think I recall seeing threads here where people used the 4-speed shifter with the reverse lockout removed as a 5-speed shifter. It might be worth a try to develop a cable bracket for people swapping from 4-speeds.
The 4 speed shifter can be used for a 5 speed if you remove the reverse crap and make the shifter lever 1/2 inch longer. This is fine for making a kit that stays together but if I am off the least bit lengthening the 4 speed select lever the kit will not work with stock 5 speed shifters. Kind of a catch 22 on that one. Not long ago they were easy to find but getting harder all the time to come by Fiero parts. Dan

Cars using A/C do not need an idler at the alt but for cars not using A/C I add one into the alt bracket for an extra $20 which basically covers the cost of the pulley. Dan
If you don't have a shifter yet, I can send you mine so you can make a few sets and ship it back to me with my kits. Let me know if that's good for you.
Hi Dan, I have no AC, so a pulley on the low mount alt. Bracket will be required. Please provide how much and how you would like to be paid. Thanks Will
Every thing going great and with my oldest daughter now helping out the turn around times are down to less then a week in most cases and harnesses still come with matching programmed PCMs at no extra cost. Have a few sets ahead of the low mount alt brackets and one set ahead of each type of mounts to try and keep ahead of things before the busy swap season starts for me. Dan
Add me to the list for a F23 shifter bracket when you start making them
Was just about to mail your mounts and harness out do you want me to wait till I have the F23 brackets and send every thing at once or ship this stuff now. Dan
Well saves me from pulling my shifter from the car.
Can you send me an invoice for the total (with shipping) for my swap kit?
I have no AC and I want to get rid of the power steering pump and also need an alternator bracket. My trans is an F23 with isuzu cables. I would like at least one dogbone, maybe provisioning for 2?
I guess i need to order a set of Rodney's poly engine and trans mounts?
Can you also give me an ETA? My payment is ready to go.
Thanks!

If send it all at once that'd be great! How much do you want for the bracket?
I now have a shifter to work with and have the select cable bracket already made. Hoping to get the rest done as soon as I get home as I am out of town for a close friend whose Mother passed away and was just buried this afternoon. Dan
