Raizer Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Are you using a Cortina or Sierra alternator at the moment? Sierra ones are better than Cortina ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Peter / retep recommended to me to use a Subaru alternator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 you may just have to use a different pulley, but i think there is only a few types so shouldnt beb hard to change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corndog Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 cool, had another thought, nippon denso from a toyota, pretty small and mount about the same? plus the earlier ones run a v belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I used one off a Sierra. Worked sweet. The blue backed ones are best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteretep Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 if its close, just go pickapart with your current bracket, they are all pretty close really, and most of them have the little bush that you can tap either way within 5-10mm to suit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
