I only have a couple of hours of run time, so no observations on if it will stay true with the other pulley's. I did center it as best I could using washers as spacers.
As you can see in the video( well at least as best the camera's rolling shutter or whatever it uses )

the vibrations are what caught my interest. I am going to secure it to the engine block engine mount I have near there, but haven't really given much thought as to what it will finally look like. Hence the question if this was unique to my engine like maybe it was too soft of rubber for the engine mounts, but since you mentioned you noted the wiggle/jiggle as well it is likely the design even if it is 1/4" steel.

I removed it and relocated a smaller second alternator using the original vacuum pump mount and location. I am currently using the original A/C bracket with some modifications to mount the A/C that I have installed.. The Pineapple bracket did seem
to vibrate a bit and seemed to line the alternator belt slightly out of true. The pineapple bracket I have was purchased by my friend David Staten (who monitors and post on occasion). I think he would not mind selling it if someone is interested.
The bracket may be fine as it is but I may want to brace it a bit.

| There were a few out there who had used the pineapple alternator relocating bracket while they made them...
If you are out there and noted the vibration characteristics it would be helpful if you could share your experience.
Thank You.
