for every bad day there is a good one

after yesterdays drama with the fuel tank i had a nice surprise tonight. i went out to make the modified alternator mount. curosity got the better of me and i wanted to see what the problem was with the old one. low and behold the alternator fits in the bay on the standard mount.

has saved me a good bit of time and faffing about.

im guessing the 1.6 isnt as wide as a 1.8/2.0

here is a picture for proof!!

ok forget that idea just put the steering colum back in and its about 1mm away from the alt. guess i will have to make a new bracket then. grrrr

hi, you could try a shorter belt mine seems to fit ok with the steering column in place but with the alternator swung up a bit
