Alternators and belts???


Recommended Posts

Posted
Hello.  Ive swapped the huge 90amp alternator for a 75amp on my zetec install and am using a Tiger racing bracket but am stuggling to get a belt to fit??  Does the next alt. down have a smaller overall size allowing fitment of a smaller belt or do i need a bigger pulley off some other ford??  Belts ive tried are 888/889 too tight  and a 900 which was just too slack.  Tried that many now that im begining to doubt myself and might go back to the 900 again and start over :suspect: Arrrghhhhh

Hi - have you got enough travel in your set up?  I doubt you can get an intermediate belt between the two that you have already tried....

Just had a thought.  I may be able to space off the lower bracket to gain the extra couple of mil.  Ill give that a go tomorrow.

10/ 11 mm difference in the belt lenght should adjust out   :t-up:
