Hey R.O.R-2.0,
Libby is correct. The aluminum brace at that point is weaker. The new 3/8" bar runs down the mount making the whole mount stronger, not only the extended portion that was added.
Especially if the aluminum mount has corrosion like mine does.
I have a question regarding the pulleys for this AAZ. Here in the pictures you see my setup with an A/C. I'm removing the A/C compressor and now I find the pulley situation a bit different. Syncroincity has his AAZ with no A/C and I see in his build where his water pump has a different pulley. Does anybody have the p/n for this water pump pulley? And will I need anything else? My truck doesn't have P/S so I don't need that pulley.
Bentley shows this pulley as well.
Thanks for the help
Tony
