Mounting Alternator 2.0 Pinto

[Guest preeday]

Hi all, would appreciate some help??

 

Would any of you have any images of how you have mounted your alternator? I'm particularly interested in where the adjuster arm is mounted at the single hole side on the block?

 

Cheers

Do these help?

Thanks Nigel, have u had to bend the adjuster arm?

Mines fitted the same except that it does not have a nut and bolt, it has a bolt coming through the arm and into the tapped hole in the alternator flange. The arm was the standard Ford cranked (bent) item.

i used the original mounting but made a plate out of 5mm steel that moves it up by about 4 inches. Plate bolts to the block - mounting bolts to the plate. I then used the original arm to tension but can't remember if it is now using a different hole that happens to be on the head.

 

This moved my alternator up out of the way of my steering shaft.

Preeday, the adjuster arm was was already bent like that.

I did the same works OK
