I've got around to fitting the alternator - it seemed like an almost direct swap for my old alternator, but I wanted to drop it a bit lower to move it away from the exhaust, so I made some new brackets to utilise the bottom alternator mounting holes on the block rather than the top ones. Pulley was a direct swap from my old alternator. rose jointed bottom bracket bakewell aided design top bracket progress top bracket finished fitted. I've ordered a shorter belt to give a bit more clearance to the steering column. Andy

Not a bad days work. Found old core plug in the engine block and broken water pump. Then found end of the dipstick in the sump must have broken off as sump was lowered then found scoring in the bore...... this engine was meant to have been rebuilt 5000 miles ago by ford mechanic..... you just don’t know what you are buying! Most of all love my car, Bloody love this club and it’s members and to do this with my 11 year old son.... priceless
