I'm trying to figure out how you mounted your bracket looks like the top of the head unit

Yea bad picture. Its mounted to the right side of the procharger. The tabs are welded to the face of the bracket. Then the adjustment rod will go from the Procharger bracket to the front by the radiator bracket. Im going to mount the adjustment rod so that it is not angled at all. It will be at the same plane as the engine. So this involves bolting in a piece of square stock. The square stock will be installed vertical from the bottom of the radiator support to the top of the radiator support. Hope this helps. I will take more pictures when i get it finished. Im going in for hernia surgery Wed. morning.
LOL

i actually thought about doing it that way but was afraid of the engine moving around would cause issues but if you use heim joints like i did i think you'll be good

i still might do it that way if it works out for you

My idea behind was to make everything adjustable. In case I did run into a problem, I would be able to fine tune it. Also I liked the idea of distributing the force over 4 bolts on the supercharger.

Works like a charm! It's F***ing stout. I made a brace from the upper radiator support to the lower support. I used 1" square stock and welded square 3/8" nuts inside the tube so it could be attached. The adjustment rod is from summit. It's a March adjustment rod. Part # MCH-RA8-000. Let me know what you guys think.

It looks like urs, because I picked ur brain about awhile back blown06!

Next step is align the pulleys with the gates tool. Then on to the Jakes lvl5 with t-brake and two step!

I also feel it's important for people to check the accessories bracket for cracks. I had to weld mine up because it cracked from the procharger bracket flexing.
