Need an alternator Bracket for an AAZ
« on: April 27, 2013, 04:14:59 pm »
Hey guys,
I'm in need of an alternator bracket for an AAZ or whatever it takes to fit this set-up






The original engine had a 1.6 pump bracket and I believe this alternator bracket is a 1.6 as well.
I am changing out the 1.6 IP bracket to the 1.9 and would like to do something with the alternator bracket also. It didn't hold the alternator aligned properly and I milled the holes a bit a long time ago. I'm hoping there's a better bracket available in someones stash.

The odd bolts holding the water pump are what came on the used block I purchased from a friendly Canadian - maybe he has the alternator bracket as well and will chime in.

Thanks

Somewhere I have one.....maybe 2.  Send me a PM near Friday to remind me and I'll look when I'm out in the shop.

Thanks but libbydiesel pointed out that the 1.6 bracket is fine - I just had it mounted wrong. Once I took out those odd double-bolts and put it directly against the WP housing (using standard bolt) it fits like it should.
I did have to slide it forward (in the slots I made) but now it lines up perfectly.
