i just got the brakets from a junkyard cleaned them up and painted them with aluminum blast. looks nice. but prolly not as nice as cnc machined ones. and slightly off topic.. but what auto cad does your brother use?
I did buy a serpentine system, it wasn't the one from the 4.3. I think it was off of like a 94 suburban or something. It was all I could find at the time. It was pretty hideous, but I was still willing to try. Turns out I didn't have all of the holes in front of the passenger side head that I needed, and I think the 4.3 brackets use the same bolt holes. So I figured I would take this opportunity to try and come up with my own bracket that looks nice and hopefully fairly inexpensive. As for the autocad, I have no clue. My guess would be the new one. if that helps any.
