ignore the fact that it's the wrong ignitor on the bracket (grabbed one from my parts bin, didn't realize until after I took the picture), but the JMF bracket fits well. If you have the alt relocation from jay racing it needs some massaging, but it's not too bad.

I'm pretty sure he drilled that hole and rotated the top alt relocation bracket because they only come with the bottom hole. Also the JMF bracket works perfectly in conjunction with the jays alt relocation kit with no trimming necessary when put on right. I am using the standard mitsu alt maybe the saturn alt top bracket is different?

edit: Now that I have had a better look, it looks like it maybe a older style because the logo is definitely different.

mine is probably much older than yours, I forget what year I got it, but it had to be at least 4+ at this point, I can't even remember anymore.

They may have been redesigned since. I didn't modify the alt kit at all, just the coil bracket.

Just got my coil bracket put in. I was a little disappointed it came with absolutely no fasteners and had sharp edges. Kind of shoddy work tbh. I expected better from jmf.

It's just a simple bent and cut piece of aluminum, and it's completely hidden once installed, so they didn't bother making it look or feel nice. Keeps the cost down, that's why it's only 35 bucks. If they put more effort into it it wouldn't be so cheap.

For $35, should at least be deburred; why I make my own stuff. As for fasteners, yeah doesn't surprise me as most things don't seem to come with them, but probably better because the stuff they usually supply you with is so-so anyway.

I did a custom bracket just under the intake manifold. You can make it simple and get the JMF bracket or just zip tie it out of the way if your in a hurry.
