Our alternator is currently on the right hand side of the engine but this is causing a problem fouling the steering linkage. Does anyone knw a way to mount the alternator on the other side of the engine where the power steering pump was situated.

if these are like lucas ACR and A types (e.g. A127) then the front and rear parts for the cases are held by 3 very long bolts.

you can undo these bolts andthen rotate the end case to align the lugs for left and right hand engine mountings.

A trip to the scrappy for an alternator may be a cheap option - but make sure pulley is in right place and about the same diameter; if not, that the pulleys can be interchanged.

so now I know - it is toyota engine.

some useful info here:

Rusty,

Have you had a read of Phil Bradshaw's site ?

He mentions alternative brackets for RWD /FWD installations.

Sorry not much help.
