Default alternator bracket help

having a couple of issues getting my alternator to fit because my manifold mounts the turbo central hence the downpipe being in the way of the standard bracket

ive seen the bracket i need but cant find 1 anywhere see below




also looking at it i can see the alternator being close to the arb mounting plate anybody know if there is more room using a s1 arb?

if anybody knows where i could find one ot these alternator brackets i would be very greatful

Regards

Chris

Just to add, could cause issues with rollbar setup like S1 or RS16i etc.

dont think a fiesta one will work on an escort, the chassis gets in the way.
