Steering Column Problem

[Guest IJW]

fitted my steering column on 2b04 had got it going between brake and clutch pedal have now found it gets in the way of alternator, moved it over the other side and now the break pedal is in the way , have i got to alter brake pedal to sort this or is there some thing else that can be done.

I've got the steering column between the brake and clutch pedal, but I had to lift the alternator up by making a metal plate 150mm x 100mm with 6 holes in it, 3 to bolt to the block and 3 100mm higher to bolt the alternator bracket to.

cheers that makes sense, cant remember that bit on video cant find my list and dont fancy watching it all over again.

When you have lifted the alternator you will have to modify the ajustment

bracket. by mounting it from the thermostat housing, but firstly make a cut

on the underside and then bend it so it looks like boomerang,weld up the V

you have made and you have proper full ajustment on the belt.

here's my effort. flat plate, with a tube welded on. Could even use the original tube from the original bracket. Would need a bit of plate though.

 

Hope this helps.
