Spyder alternator location.......

PostPost by: berni29 » Tue Oct 17, 2023 5:15 pm

Hi There

For Zetec Spyders.

I know that the standard practice is to mount the alternator on the inlet side, but has anyone mounted it on the exhaust side like the twincam does?

I ask because my intake plenum does not angle upwards and space is very tight.

Many thanks

Berni
Zetec+ 2 under const, also 130S. And another 130S for complete restoration. Previously Racing green +2s with green tints. Yellow +2 and a couple of others, all missed. Great to be back 04/11/2021 although its all starting to get a bit out of control.

Mines on the inlet side. I thought that was standard for a Zetec.
