Gen/Alt Bracket

The HEDMAN Generation/Alternative Bracket (Model 20040) is a driver-side upper alternator bracket engineered for small-block Chevy applications with stock alternators and short water pumps. This F-style steel bracket is finished in black powder coat for corrosion resistance and durability in demanding engine bay environments where thermal cycling and exposure demand reliable component retention.

Precision-manufactured from steel and rated for the mounting loads inherent to small-block Chevy alternator systems, this bracket maintains critical alignment and vibration isolation during extended operation. The black powder coat finish provides UV resistance and protection against salt spray, fuel vapors, and thermal stress common in both street and competition engine bays. Weighing 0.69 lbs with compact footprint dimensions (4.6 x 4.4 x 6.4 inches), the bracket integrates seamlessly into tight engine compartments without sacrificing structural integrity or load-bearing capacity required for alternator retention during acceleration and deceleration.

This bracket is engineered for builders and enthusiasts restoring or modifying small-block Chevy powerplants with stock alternator configurations. It solves the critical problem of proper alternator mounting geometry—misalignment leads to belt slippage, accelerated wear, and potential charging system failure under load. The F-style design works with standard fastener sizing and existing engine block mounting points, eliminating the need for custom fabrication or costly machine work. Serious engine builders and restoration shops rely on purpose-built brackets like the HEDMAN 20040 to ensure repeatable, code-compliant alternator installations that pass inspection and perform reliably across varying climates.
