ive been fitting my alternator.. refurbished at 95 quid.. choke. i want to make a bracket to tension it with, old school nut and bolt tensioner and some good old leverage.. heres a picture to describe my plans.. pretty much self explanatory.. theres a site rooted pic incase you cant see the linked one.
the green dot.. the alternator pivot..
the pink dots.. the usuall join points of the celica top mount alternator bracket.. i want to stick a bracket in between these two points.. pictured bottom. To get the belt length in the middle of the adjustment range.. between centres i need my two pulleys to be 380mm apart.. this gives a top movement between the 55 & 120 of 82.5.. equall adjustment either way etc.
with the pulley diamaters and the distance between centre's.. and the trig of the trailing angles.. and all that stuff.. the belt length wants to be... 1075mm anyone know if the celica belt is around this length?.. or indeed if i am overlooking a simple solution to the alternator tensioning ? :D
