Hi, as far as I can remember the bracket bolts to the block with three bolts, two along the top, one at the bottom. The alternator locates to the bracket with one long bolt and there's a flat bar at the top. The belt tension is set with the idler, so you don't have to move the alternator to take up slack in the belt.

So bolt "6" will i guess be at the bottom of the alternator. Support bracket (4) at the top, is the one i'm talking about. Havent touched the other ones, but i can only connect bracket (4) to either the alternator or the block, hence the push the alternator out question A Santa - 1977 Series 3 - new chassis, tub, disc brakes,SU Carb Gertie - 1999 110 TD5 - like a Phoenix from the ashes back on road... almost Effie - 2004 110 TD5 County |

Yes, pivot the alternator about bolt 6 until you can secure bracket 4 to the alternator one end and the block on the other. Tighten bolt 6 and then the alternator should be in the correct place for the belt to be the correct length for the tensioner to do its job.

K thanks
The annoying thing is that you cannot buy the o-ring at the end of the Vac pump oil feed pipe by itself. You need to buy the whole thing at ~£80 Most expensive o-ring ever .... in terms of cost worse than the gauze filter behind the FPR I guess !

As said above I'm sure if you take the O-ring to a motor factor or a hydraulics wholesaler they'd match the thickness and ID of the O-ring without drama. |

If you search online you will find suppliers of o rings, if you have the dimensions to hand.

Everybody knows O rings only come in four sizes.
Too big Too small Too thin Too fat |
