The Ultimate Alternator Project

It's possible but I'd need to disassemble part of the heat exchanger to remove the adjusment arm, bend it and reinstall. What I've done since the pictures were taken is to replace the washer stack with a solid steel spacer. I've also replaced the original bolt with one that is longer so that it now projects all the way through the adjusment tab on the alternator, backed up by a grade 8 steel washer, lock washer and nut. The whole assembly is extremely rigid with no hint of vibration or flexing. |
