In case it helps - any 2.3 or 2.8 engine will give these - pic is later style one (which are better)

They come up on eBay regularly, I got one off a 2.8i Capri a couple of weeks ago for £12.

I was wanting to replace my monstrous alternator-AC bracket on my 2.8 and bought one out of U.K. off of fleabay. Unfortunately, the belt alignment was off and I ended up putting the boat anchor back on. Note though, there are different versions of these brackets to set the alternator higher, lower or closer to the engine. Mine was supposed to be from a 2.3 Cortina and the bracket off of the front of the engine was shorter than the one in the picture. Though without AC, you'll probably just need to find a proper size belt.

I know that there were different water pumps for Cologne (nose depth out from block) but always thought the 2.3 and 2.8 alternator brackets were all the same offset....interesting. Never had a problem with the kits and swops (about 6 different colognes 2.3 and 2.8)
