I have done this mod and I would encourage you to contact the guys at 
Timmons VW Parts Dept. They will set you up and cost will be about $50. 
What you need :

	1. Alt. Bracket
	2. New Water Pump Pulley
	3. New Crank Pulley
	4. Alt. Adjustment Bar (top, 1/4" slotted band-iron)
	5. Alt. Top Mnt Bushing Kit

You will also need to remove the pulley from your A/C alternator and do 
some grinding (last step) to perfectly align the belt. You gring the 
down until everything it "right".

I looked at many "home-brew" kits, but the fit on the factory peices 
avoids vibration, mis-alignment and cracking. 

Hope this helps.
