dhutch Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Robust? I’ve no idea what you mean. In that, if he is re-listing the part a lot, making hard to keep track of the current listing number, his seller id will probably not change, and hence remains a stable way of finding the seller and hence items.

Playo Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Just doing a mock fit of the alternator to my silvertop zetec, it seems the original tension bar won't line up with the bolt hole on the alternator Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue ass fly Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 I drilled the 8mm thread out Got some 8mm threaded bar bent 90 degree at the end to pass through The bar then heads toward the rocker cover,secured by a bracket bolted to the head lifting eye bolt hole With the pulley off the zetec alternator a 900mm 4 ribbed belt fitted perfectly http://s1102.photobucket.com/user/19sac65/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image-1.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 If you want to go the turn buckle approach, McGill Motorsport is an excellent source for the right and left hand threaded rose joints, along with the right hand/left hand threaded bit in the middle. Good prices too. Here you go, turnbuckle links, clicky If you want a more budget version of the rose jointed turnbuckle, try a chandler/boat yard, they usually have turnbuckles available for tensioning lines on boats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playo Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 A question for the guys running the small alternator last night I finally set about swapping over the pulley wheels and when I came to fit the original pulley to the denso alternator the shaft is about 2mm thinner than the hole of the pulley, did any of you have this issue?

blue ass fly Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Yes,i did post it somewhere A denso is 14mm shaft - standard ones are 17mm You can make a little shim to hold it true I filed down a steel dowel and cut a slot in it so it opened up to slide on the shaft I was going to use a 15mm copper olive but couldnt find one Once its central the nut will hold it secure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
