I don't live in CO (fahr, fahr away) but I'm curious to know what you're up to, own an '08 WRX and have tape measures / calipers...

SSpeed, Eric w/ torqued performance has a 08-09 wrx that I'm sure you could check out. Its currently out of commission as his big turbo build spun a bearing or something like that so its in rebuild mode.

^^ Nothing all that exciting really.... I'm going with a ProcessWest intercooler, so I'm ditching my engine cover... For aesthetics, and possibly a conspiracy theory of my own that it does a little for underhood aerodynamics, I'm wanting to go with the '08 WRX belt cover... I've acquired the cover #3, but need to know what brackets I also need... the only halfway good pictures I've gotten are from subarupartsstore.net

#4 surely is needed, wondering where it bolts up to though... and then how the left side of #3 is secured, is it a bolt on an existing bracket? Really just want to sit the two side by side and compare, but I'd take you up on pics and measurements fahr_side!

Thanks LGT for Me, maybe I'll give him a call on it and see if I can just peek...

OK, no problem.

 

The passenger side of the cover is fixed with an M6 bolt into a bracket which is bolted to the power steering pump.

The driver side has a plastic molded spike with pushes into a rubber grommet on another bracket, which is in your diagram is #4. This in turn is fixed by the alternator pivot bolt.

 

The photos should make it pretty clear what you need. I was going to give you link to the drawings on opposedforces.com but they seem to be down... :confused:

^^ Thank you much! Now I just need to find the part numbers on the two brackets... The driver side bracket is #4 and I can order it without part #, need to find the passenger side one though... Your pictures help greatly, thanks!

23791AA002 is the bracket on the alternator and 34446AG020 is the bracket off the PS pump.

 

Opposedforces is back up. :wub:

Just a follow-up to this... in anticipation of my nifty ProcessWest intercooler getting here, I installed the WRX belt cover today (my first aesthetic mod) since I'm not driving the car anyway. Fits beautifully, just need the alternator side bracket, WRX cover, and a really long M5 bolt to make it work. Looks much cleaner than the big engine cover...

Just check on the existing bracket if there's a hole and captive nut right above the PS pump pulley. If it's there the other two parts should PnP.
