It was amazing to see how many responses I recieved about the alternator
conversion. I love you guys.
I picked up a 10SI from a local shop today. Unfortunately I picked it up
before I recieved Brian at Power British Performance Part's email regarding
a ready to bolt kit he sells.
Since I have a TR4 which uses the wide belt I need to figure out how to
finalize the alternator swap. I was wondering if anyone has tried mounting
the old generator pulley to the alternator or better yet if there is a
pulley that can be purchased from a local store. I know there is the thin
belt conversion for the crank and water pump pulleys but seems it would be
easier to change just this one not the other two.
I havent seem too much talk on the pulley aspects and am definately
interested in hearing how this was overcome.
Would I be safe using a 1/2 inch belt with the existing pulleys if they
didnt touch the bottom of the groove?
Can I use the 3/4 inch belt on a 1/2 inch pulley if it seems to fit in there
pretty well?
Thanks again for all the help
