They have gotten back to me but have informed me they are traveling for racing and haven't gotten back further. I may have a line on one hopefully.

Thanks! I was looking at the diagrams for the original GT40 alternator bracket and have been considering fabbing my own if i can’t get a hold of one. I picked up some aluminum plate the other day in case!! I’ll go through that thread and see what other tips I can gather. Pat

Got my Randy’s confused! I sent him a message. Still trying to get a low alternator bracket which will decide if I need anything. Right now I’m just buying parts when what I really need is that alternator bracket but I can’t get a hold of one.

finally got the damper pulled. It’s an Innovators West # 204 for internally balanced. Here are mic’d measurements - sprocket to end of crank snout - 1.95” Balancer hub 2.80” Randy we have the same engines basically from Prestige I believe (Dart 302 stroked to 363). What balancer are you...

You can post it in this thread if thats easy enough.

Thanks!! I’ve been talking with someone named Ole via email. He’s the one who said the bracket doesnt fit 302 without Gurney heads. Unknown why??

Thanks Lee….I thought that was the right water pump.

Okay pulled the engine back out today and will get to pulling the harmonic balancer off and see why it’s so far out. I see others that responded to this are using shorty water pumps. I thought shorty water pumps wouldn’t fit in the 40? If they fit I would rather use one than the electrical...

Finally got a hold of them. It was my fault. I needed to omit the 0 from their phone number when calling overseas!!! Spoke with him and he doesnt think it would work on a 302 but told him that others have used it here and that the 289 was/is the same block as a 302. Hopefully I’ll get it...

That’s great to hear! I wonder why their business phone line is disconnected though? I’ll keep trying their cell phones and see if I can get through that way.

Could you tell me where you got that alternator bracket? Looking for one just like that.

I’ve been hunting down a Gelscoe alternator bracket but they seemed to have closed and re-opened as GM Automotive Engineering LTD but when I contacted them there is no answer and phone seems disconnected. Does anyone have one for sale or knows any company that makes these brackets?

I know this is an old thread but I’ve tried calling and emailing GM Automotive and the main line is no longer in service, no email answers and no cell phone replies. Does anyone know if there is another company selling Gelscoe gt40 parts??

The worst part is they knew it was for an RCR gt40 and after calling them they still said it’s the shortest damper I could put on it. It just confuses me more.

Yes, all built and supplied by Prestige.

When I spoke to prestige today they stated the balancer I have now lines up for a shorty water pump. In fact they advised going with the shorty water pump over an electric water pump. If that’s true then the Glescoe bracket should line up perfectly???

Thanks Brian, I appreciate the help. From research I’ve been doing tonight it seems the Frod 302 balancer came in three different lengths - 3”, 3.35” and 4”. 3 bolt pulley has the 3” balancer, 4 bolt pulley has the 4” balancer and the 3.35” balancer uses a 3/4 bolt pattern. It looks like...

Lee thanks for all the pictures and info!! I’ll search now for some balancers and see what they have. I’ll have to pull the engine to remove the balancer and see what I’m working with.

Lee did you run a short water pump or electrical/remote? Trying to figure out which CVF system you went with.

I spoke to Prestige and they told me this is the shortest balancer they use. They said with a short water pump it would just be enough for the pulleys. I told them I’m running an electric water pump to gain clearance and need it closer but they said thats as close as it gets. It’s an...
