As the title suggests, I am looking for driver's side alternator brackets for the slant six. Thank you drive through.

I believe those slant driver side alternator brackets were standard on the A100 vans, not easy to come by today.
I made mine using the block mount portion of a slant six power steering pump. Welded washers over the slotted holes to make them a through hole for the alternator piviot bolt. I can get a photo of my set up tomorrow.
Others have made the bracket out of angle iron, and by welding on the appropriate pivot bolt mounts. Again, bolt it to the block where the power steering pump would go.
And if you need the power steering crank
pulley that bolts to the front of the regular crank pully, pay postage and I will send you an extra that I have.

I can post some pictures of some A100 brackets I have. They are for my slant build and not for sale, but you may be able to make some.

That would be cool. Thanks.

Interested in pics too! My turbo is over there but I may have clearance for a small Denso.

I have a set as well and can throw them on a slant motor so you xan get a better idea of fit

I'm pretty sure I have that bracket. I'll let you know later today .

Photos of the driver side alt bracket made from the block side slant six power steering bracket. It all fit in under the AC compressor mount. The curved alternator belt tension bar is a pull a part piece. Prior to installing the AC compressor I had used a stock slant six belt tension bar. The tubular piece attached at one of the bracket bolts is a support for the compressor bracket.

Does that require another pulley on the crank or does it use what's already there? I have a P/S bracket.......or two maybe.

I better go out and look, It has been a while since I set that up.
One could shim the alternator forward or back to line up with what ever crank pully they choose.
Another note, you want the ID of the washers that are welded to the power steering bracket half to closely match the diameter of the alternator mount- pivot bolt.
And use hollow spacers to take up any lengthwise gaps along the pivot bolt inside the washers welded to the bracket to get a stable mount.

I set it up so the alternator belt runs off what is normally the power steering crank pully, which is the pully that bolts to the front of the crank pully.

Thanks John! I feel sure I can whip something up from the P/S bracket. Much appreciated!

I went out and looked at the belt-pully set up that I have on the slant in the 68 Barracuda.
I have a single groove crank pully-damper, it runs the belt for the water pump and the alternator, the alternator is used as the belt tensioner. The alternator pulley having two grooves and a little shimming of the alternator for or back allows one to align with any crank pully groove.
The AC compressor is powered by an OE style AC compressor crank pully that bolts on the back side of the slant six crank pully, so it is between the crank damper and the block. The AC belt is tensioned by an idler pully mounted on the AC compressor bracket.

Here are some pics of the brackets you are looking for.
