I believe they are made by Offenhauser. They are also available on the used market, I placed a "Wanted" ad for one on the "H.A.M.B." and had two offers in the next 12 hours. I would suggest trying to find a used bracket, as I believe the Speedway units are overpriced.

I already have the bracket to mount the alternator off the front of the manifold, the bracket that I mentioned 916-67915 was specifically designed for the later flathead 8BA. That is what I am looking for a photo or illustration of it mounted. Speedway, honest Charley and several other shops used to sell the kit, but I believe that they dropped it when the new front mount one's were made. As I said in my earlier post, I want to use this bracket to adapt it to mount the power steering pump for my JAG IFS.
