Other Saginaw bracket mods that need to be done are just meatball surgery. The rear "triangular" bracket that bolts to the pump body needs to be flattened out completely EXCEPT for the little dogleg that attaches one end to the lower mounting stud. That stays the same. Also, the main, heavy front bracket needs to get hacked down to size.

This has to be done to fit against the Mag WP, as mentioned before. This photo shows how I'm planning to modify the main bracket to fit:



Basically, making a small triangle out of the large rectangular bracket. This *SHOULD* provide sufficient resistance to twisting, and a small strut from the lower timing chain bolts to the back of the pump *SHOULD* prevent any rotation around the pivot bolt. No adjustment needed any more... Oh, and you'll need a short spacer and a nut on the back of pivot bolt to secure the rear mounting bracket. Easier to see what's going on in the Return Line photo below.
