Manifold & Alternator

The inlet manifold went on today and then I set to making brackets to mount the alternator

I needed to make two brackets, one for the top and another for the bottom of the alternator. The top bracket just bolts onto the end of two manifold studs and the lower bracket is bolted into two spare M10 holes in the side of the block.



The alternator brackets will be taken off again during the week to be given a coat of paint. I'll also replace the standard nuts with nylocs. I need to find a belt now, approx 870mm in length should do it.

Looking at the space underneath the alternator, there is enough room for the steering link to pass through above the oil filter.
