Tranny, How Far Back

[Spikehaus]

I have just come across a similar problem. I am using a Type 9 Close Ration Box, (its the longer input shaft model) I have had to mount the engine further forward, and use a gear lever extension to move it back by 135 mm. However, i do not think I have room to fit the alternator on its new bracket? Does anyone know of a smaller alternator that could be use? Starting to thing a Pinto engine would have saved me a lot of time!
