daveo do you know if a tte supercharger has same mountings as the eaton m62 as i might be able to measure one up.
Yes it does, I even have a broken supercharger at home to measure from.

on another note i still cant find the original pulley the tte kit used,i adapted a merc one,which is 138mm but others say one from the supra fits?
its like finding the holy grail haha.:presents2:

15-02-2020, 05:00 AM #96the easy part is the measurements of the bolt holes,the not so easy part is getting the angles for the supporting legs,that bolt to the engine block and so forth,even with measurements you will still need to figure these angles out by fixing and adapting,until you've got it right.

let us know when ya find it. yea there is no problem measuring the hole positions. ive an eaton there to measure up. as above its all about getting the angles rite. even having another cradle longside you , your still going to have issues with the angles all working intogether nicely.
in thinking a block bracket machined out of a big lump of ally rather than the bar cradle type.or then again using some item ally and making up a frame that way. might have a look into the weekend and see how it goes for me.
ha ha the holy grail !!!! let us know when ya find it.

But my opinion, having looked into making a cradle, is that trying to make an exact copy of the TTE one is a waste of time and that you are better off just making your own design.
As long as the holes for the engine and charger are correct, what you put between them is irrelevant.

its very easy to run a straight edge along the front of thr 2 pulleys to ensure squareness. i think people are makingt a bigger issue out of making this bracket than there is to it !! if you have an eye at all in your head and a vernier and the use of a cnc mill i think there wouldnt be too much to it.
i dont think you would shred belts if you had a block bracket with slightly elongated slots for adjustment. if your paranoyed about making a cradle and belts shredding id be asking someone else to make it far ya its very easy to run a straight edge along the front of thr 2 pulleys to ensure squareness. i think people are makingt a bigger issue out of making this bracket than there is to it !! if you have an eye at all in your head and a vernier and the use of a cnc mill i think there wouldnt be too much to it.
