alternator mounts...

[staszekgra]

Me and friend of mine changed water pump, everything is ok except alternator mounting; we don't remember everything (assembly ); there are 5 bolts, 1 bolt (upper) is broken. The longest bolt goes inside of small pipe (T style) there is special purpose of that?. I didn't notice but is alternator put in diagonal way or Perpendicular?

staszekgra,

The long bolt that goes through the bottom of the alternator is the main mounting or pivot bolt. There is a metal piece that the bolts passes through first that acts as the other fixed point for this bolt. The purpose for the T-shaped piece on the bottom is to act as a spacer and/or positioner. This piece needs to be installed so the bottom of the alternator doesn't try and move in toward the head.

The pully is parallel with the belt direction.

Look in the photo gallery under my name for the pictures I took of my alternator.

I hope these answer some of your questions. If not, post them.

So that metal part do the job of positioner, and smaller flat arm isn't attached to anything? (I don't remember but I'm sure that it's loose)

I didn't find those pics of alternator (just one: Intake Runner Plugs) I'm not good at that..

thanks for reply

The small flat arm is attached to the back of the alternator with a small bolt.

This holds the spacer in a fixed position.

Check the photo's again, I've got 3 pictures uploaded.
