So I got around today to installing the my dual alternator setup. Couple issues with the brackets. The stud that holds the bolt to the alternator from the manifold really needs to have more thread on it, in both directions. Any alternator with more then a 1/2" thick foot will find that you only have about 3 threads sticking out for the last nut. Also with the lock nut my alternator, and it looks like the stock 10si would have this problem as the foot is the same size will cause the alternator stick out about 1/8" too far towards the front of the engine. Nothing you wouldn't notice unless looking for it and how the belts ride on the pullies. I tried turning the stud farther into the manifold bracket , but there just wasn't enough threads left I tried to locate a jam nut to use in stead of the backing nut but my local hardware store didn't have one that size.
Anyway, this is a 24volt motorola 45 amp alternator I used two 49.5" belts, originally I trids the AMC V8 belts (50.5") used with for the AC setup, however I needed to have both tention adjusters all the way out to get it tight enough, I went back got two that where 1" shorter. So far it works great. I still have to hook the alternator up to my battery but that should be easy
All in all the quality machine work looked supurb
Thanks MC.
