Default RS500 drop bracket and/or arm

Hi,

I need to gain extra clearence with the alternator in my 3 door and am wondering if I just need the drop bracket or I need a special arm as well? I always thought it was just a drop bracket, but before I order I want to be 100% sure. (as like Forge only makes the bracket)

Thanks in advance

Just the forge drop bracket mate.I have one on my car.

You will need to cut off a lug on block though and saw 1 of the bolts down.

And if it on a car with a 4x4 waterpump you will need to extend the rubber pipe that comes water pump to metal pipe at bottom of rad.As when moving the alternator down you move the belts lower to and these will cut through said pipe.
