I remember seeing a post with pics but I can't find it now.
I'm thinking of mounting the alternator on the driver's side, high or mid ht.
Are there any brackets available for this? Please show me your pics if you have done this.

My plan was to keep the passenger side free for a supercharger.
Still waiting for the desire to upgrade to hit...

Pretty sure Mark at Breeze sells one for the driver side.

That's the pic!
How did you mount it?
did you fabricate a bracket?

I didn't fabricate the bracket. Mike's right. You can get it from breeze:

Like Dave's, mine is mounted on the drivers side. A lot of people will argue that there isn't enough belt wrap in that position to spin the water pump . . . it doesn't take a lot of force to rotate a water pump as it isn't "pushing" against any resistance, or very little.
Mines been that way for 15+ years with out any issues at all, never have an overheating problem, never any belt squeal.

I mounted mine on the driver's side. I got my parts from Breeze. I also have heard that I don't have enough belt wrap but it works great.
