zetec alternator mounting
Idea for mounting the alternator on blacktop engine. I really do not want to pay for the kits around, the build cost is mounting up too quickly. So I
would appreciate anybody's DIY solution.
cheers

Its not a big job.
pick an alternator and some 6mm plate. Stick a couple of lugs on it and wedge it under the inlet. 
Ive done four home made ones and just use what ever is cheap at the time with a multi v pulley.
I think this one was a R5

First attempt for the 1.8 silvertop....
Have you got the air con pump bracket off the blacktop? I simply modified mine to make a slimmer bracket for the alternator.
Hope that inspires you, cost me nought but a bit time and a new belt

My attempt! In the end wanted to use my pinto alt
In this picture it shows the adjuster which is why I wanted the concave/convex washers the other day (still do m8), because the angle changes of the
threaded rod when its wound in and out, hence why the washer is a better solution but I'm buggered if I'm paying £13 for a pair of
washers!

Very clever mate, didn't even think of using the alt as an idler pulley.
Nice work!
