MR AKE70 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 well a few weeks ago the alternator decided to give up the ghost, to be expected i guess, i was looking abit worn out, anyway, went to the wreakers to get one, went to fit it, found out the tension adjusting bracket was not inline, so i just hammered the smeg out of it, to make it straight, as any bodgy hoon would do, went about fitting it, to find, it was stuffed, pasted the 7 day return, money down the drain. Next adventure, off to repco to buy a new bosch unit, i ring first to find where they would have one in stock. enoggera store it is, get there, "O no, it would be up the road at checkpoint, repco owns them too" ok, up the road i go. ask for the alternator, out they come with it. wrong mounting sizing, single plug-in wiring, flat belt drive not v belt, they ring up and confirm its the right one fron the part no. on the unit, its correct. Well its not. So off i go again, give up on the bosch and go for the champion unit that they also had in stock at the moreyfield store, off i go, got v belt pulley, old school wire up points, mounts look right. Sold Once again pull out the wreaker alternator, re wire the new alternator, go to put it in...... Once again the simplist job failed, the mounts on the new alernator are too wide for the braket attached to the motor. Now to the question, Can you get a bloody aternator bracket for the block that is internally 95mm wide?? If not who the hell has a alternator for a KE70 1.3 ltr 4k motor!!!? End rant, thanks for reading. Scotty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicine_Man Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Is it a bosch unit you bought as a replacement? If so you may be able to do a bit of chopping and changing of brackets etc.. if you need a hand, let me know.. where abouts in brizzy you live?

Medicine_Man Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Yeah, It is aftermarket.. If they are physically the same shape as the bosch unit you could change the bracket etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
