Alternator Bracket

Post by Tim » Tue Apr 03, 2012 10:37 am

Has anyone converted their Tiger to a Lucas ACR type alternator, and if so, did you have to fabricate the mounings or can you buy a suitable mount from somewhere?

As I found out on the M5 last Saturday, the mounts on my car are decidedly home made and allow the alternator to move, leading to the belt being thrown off. :(

As per a previous thread, I fitted a Fiesta alternator from a bolt screwed in the holes at the front of the cylinder head. Much neater & shorter fan belt run.
