Alternator bracket test

Alternator brackets fitted - as per design.
The brackets swap the alternator from the original lower (uk) drivers side to high on the passenger side. This is to avoid the brake servo.

Water pumps are hard to get right. So many versions,  There are different impellors some will not fit on the engine plate, then there are the various pulley options, viscous, threaded or un-threaded.

Here is how the Alternator bracket fits with my Ford Capri 70A Alternator (0120 469 571).
The kit was designed for the US version alternator probably with mounting points at 180 degrees apart.
Best plan is to modify or make a new adjuster bar that is a straight bar,  Easily done.


Water pump pulley is hard to align due to no shoulder on the pump, So I need a new bush to take up where the viscous fan would have fitted.



Also need a new thermostat housing to modify it to miss the front crossmember as this one is a bit corroded.

Any colour so long as it is black..

I might have to redo the crackle black rocker covers.

Must remember to do the valve clearances tomorrow
