It's wet, windy, and rainy today so this is the best picture I can get for now.

Interested in this as I just had to have my alternator serviced again.
Is that list of Mcmaster parts what you used, Farrar?

Well here it is "mocked" into position:
Yes the fan blade is close, but it doesn't hit. Also this part number is nearly identical in adjusting distance as the stock bracket.
The only additional parts I will have to purchase are 3/8" longer bolts(joints are exactly 1/2" thick) for it to fit.
It works for me and for under $40. Thanks Matthew for the idea!!

And here is a video of it not hitting the fan blades.

I wonder if I am going to have any problems with this part on my 91 Saturn alternator.

Completed this project this morning with 2 stainless steel (13mm head) M8x1.25mm bolts(one 50mm and one 30mm long)and one stainless steel nut, loosen the pivot bolt and nut with 17mm socket, and then tighten the turnbuckle with 13mm and 14mm(SAE also works) wrenches and tighten the pivot and adjuster bolts, jamnuts, double-check connections and done...so easy now!!
