Alternator And Power Steering Pump Brackets

[Todd L.]

Are these the proper brackets for a 74 LS4? The only markings I can find on them is "FRONT" stamped on one and "P" stamped on two others.
These have an anodized finish, but the judging manual says the alternator and A.I.R. braces should be Semi-Gloss black. I see nothing in the manual about what the power steering pump bracket should be. In the Paragon C3 catalog they show a kit for the LS4 with all the same brackets and they are all semi gloss black. They are branded GM restoration parts.
If my braces are not correct, can I paint them the proper color and use them?
If they are not correct, what did they come from?

Thanks

Todd

From what I can see, all the brackets appear to be correct ones for your application. However, the finish is NOT correct. You need to clean all these up and paint them semi-gloss black. Some, but NOT all, later GM SERVICE pieces were finished this way but the originals used in PRODUCTION were semi-gloss black.

Thank you as always Joe. I will be getting these painted semi gloss black. I owe you a picture for an EGR hold down clamp I believe. As soon as I remove it I will get it to you.
