electrical and ignition Relocate (non-Tii) alternator

[stuff]

I need to make some room up near the inlet manifold by moving the alternator. I saw some posts talking about using the later Tii brackets on a regular 02, but never saw "a recipe" posted, so here is mine. Note that the alternator pictured is a 90A unit from BNR with an onboard voltage regulator. I don't know whether using an external VR makes this easier or harder as I never tried.

Parts needed:

1x Tii alternator bracket (part # 11141257413)

1x Tii alternator support bracket (part #12311256082)

1x M8 1.25x100mm bolt

1x M8 1.25x90mm bolt

3x Round Spacer, Aluminum, Plain Finish, 5/16" Screw Size, 3/4" OD, 0.315" ID, 3/4" Length

1x XPZ962 (or XPZ0962) v-belt/fan belt from Gates, Goodyear, Contitech, etc.

Variou other M8 bolts, washers and bushings from your existing alternator bracketry

The round spacers are used to pad the gaps between various components. Re-use your existing bushings and fit them to the new Tii alternator support bracket. You may need to lengthen the wire between your starter and your alternator as mine was only just long enough with the alternator in the new location.

The 90mm bolt which the support bracket attaches to also secures the front timing cover to the block. Best to leave the bolt a little loose, get the alternator into position and secured, and then torque that bolt down last all the while ensuring that it is indeed pressing the timing cover to the block tightly. Use washers between the spacer and timing cover if you need to shim it to you liking, or thiner spacers - whatever your car needs.

I might add if using spacers as so, The bronze valve guide is a good choice for strength and machine-ability. 

 

but what do I know.
