Default Kwik Performance Brackets?

Has anyone used this bracket to relocate their pwr steering and alt. I was looking into getting a new corvette surpentene drive from PACE and found these brackets that do the same and use your existing pwr steering and alt. It is about half the cost of a complete kit that comes with eveything from PACE.

Haven't used that setup, but I did get their AC compressor mount for use with a Corvette LS3 serpentine setup and was very impressed with the brackets. The hardware (nuts and bolts) could be prettier, but that's a minor quibble. One of the few aftermarket parts I've gotten that just bolted on and worked without modifying something.

I am using them on my LS2. Fitment is nice. My application is a little different. The bracket across the water pump is from KB.

I used their ac compressor relocation kit on my LS1 and it worked slick but I agree that the hardware could be switched out to something nicer.

Default Alt holes measurement?

I called Kwik today to try and get measurements of the alt mounting holes. I wasn't able to get anyone on the phone, so I just left a message. I haven't got a reply yet.
Does anyone have the distance from the mounting holes of the alt? I have a ctsv set up from PACE and want to make sure it is the same before I order. I called PACE they sell kwik as well but they were unsure of the measurement and did not have a unit to measure for me.

I'm friends will all of the guys at KWiK. I'll send them a link to this thread and maybe you can get your answer that way. I do know that they are quite busy.
