Alternator replacement

[MV8]

I can see why they made the old bracket that way. The angle iron provided a level platform for supporting the alt during mockup to weld. If the original pivot bracket  ends up in the way due to alt lug placement, here is a suggestion for making a new one. You can fit also tube between the blue flanges to use a single pivot bolt and nut for easier adjustment.

Can we have the Geo alternator lug mounting spacing dimensions? Outside, inside?

I'll provide the measurements as soon as I am back in CO.

Okay!

the first measurements are taken.

NSXguys Amazon recommendation might be the ticket, in deed.

 

My Magneton seems to be unoptainium.

There is only one supplier in the US and they don’t order spares anymore.

 

The size matches my old “original” alternator and the clocking is as close to perfect as it gets.

 

Even the bracket fits.

 

It might just be a dream which rarely happens in my Brit car experience, but so far so good.

I’ll install the Amazonia Version next week and report back.

 

And I am in the process of rebuilding the original.

Many Thanks to NSXguy and all the others who helped to get the current flowing again.

There is an Alternator  but there are bearings and brushes as well.
