Figure 1: Rendered drawing of the Alternator Mount, fillet
piece between plate and alternator mount missing, see picture.
The alternato mount's are made from the same CRS[crolled
steel or BMS- bright mild steel] I Made the engine mounts
from..
Position of alternator.
These put the alternator quite high, it clears the engine
mount and the alternator moves through the full distance affrded
by the slot in the original alternator strap. one draw back
to the high alternator is getting the top block bolt in. I
put th etop bolt in with a short socket on a wobble drive
extension, or a snap-on flexoket; it help to use wasted head
bolt's from the Montego 13mm hex instead of 17mm.
The tube the 8mm alternator bolt goes through is made from
a 5/8"x10SWG steel tube with insert welded in the end
to reduce the bore to 8mm, washers welded on the end of the
tube are OK, as is a tube with an 8mm ID.
There are three pdf's. alternatormount_detail.pdf shows the
position of the block on the rh engine mount and the postion
of the tube on the alternator mount in relation to the belt
centre-line and the block bolt holes, you might find it easier
to check pulley widths and work with a straight edge from
the front face of the water pump pulley. You will find some
discrepiancies in the figures, I have just noticed one, I
rounded some of them and the differant drawings have them
to a decimal place or integers.
alternator_cutting.pdf shows the main pices of metal and
the dimension, flat view only two of the bit's are 5mm CRS
and the other is a tube, not much point in other views. I
have ommited the gusset between the two pieces of flat stuff,
I cut out individual bit's but if your making one set of mounts
I guess you will have a bit of 5mm scrap suitable.
alternator_ass.pdf shows the assembled mount and the position
of th etube in relation to the plate that bolt's to the block.
these are dimensions that work. if you want to lower the alternator
check it clears your engine mount. the angled piece has to
clear the timing chest, I ddin't think about it when i drew
it but as shown it would require a small 'V' shaped bit cut
out to clear, the bit that touches is the angled piece and
it touches about 1" from the block level with the front
edge of the block plate.
