Hey guys, will try and keep this one short.
Basically in the process of assembling my 4AGTE and am up to working out how/where the alternator mounts!
Now I know that there are FWD and RWD brackets, however, I have seen the alternator mounted on both passenger and drivers sides, so what I need to to know is assuming my bracket is a FWD one, can I make it work fine to suit either passenger or drivers side mounting? Or is it a pointless exercise and I would be better off making my own mount? I would love to be able to have it mounted in a car to be able to work on it and check all clearances with the alternator position, but that won't be happening for a while yet, so at the moment would love if someone could point me in the right direction.
Here is a couple of reference pics to maybe help with solutions:
Engine in question

Rear of water pump (Guessing that affects alternator positioning?)

Alternator bracket in question (FWD I think)

Any help would be great!
