Breaking alternator bracket turbo na

Postby Coote_00 » Mon Apr 24, 2017 11:04 pm

Hi just wanted some suggestions about alternator bracket
Since I've gone turbo I've had to replace it a few times because it brakes or fractures.
Wanted to know if anyone else has had this issue and if there is a way to fix it cheers

Hi mate, you could try using a heim joint adjustable tensioner as i did above.
Available from Aeroflow in different lengths such as part no.# AF60-4000 or AF60-4007. Not sure of the part number for the one i have though.
I had to ream out one of the rod end eyelets a little to fit the bolt that attaches to the mounting tang on the water pump but otherwise it works very well for my application.
