Crossflow (capri/cortina) alternator mount

[bertavfc]

Hi, I'm rumaging together bits for a looming alternator conversion on my 69 +2, I've just souced a crossflow bottom alternator mount that was described as a Capri/cortina item, I've been searching the threads on here and have struggled to get a definative answer to the best item for this conversion, I've heard the pinto item a a good way to go but the ones I seen came with 3 mounting lugs to the block as appose to two?, I apolagise if I'm going over old ground in advance, I've believe it's still acceptable to re-use the existing dynamo tensioner bracket (I'm fitting a 18 ACR unit), best regards, Rob.

Er Rob,

I trust your monica is not making reference to a certain northern football club, as that would be totally inappropriate.

Rob,
If you go to the SJ Spotscars (located in the UK) site and select: your car, electrical, alternator they have the three items you need to mount an alternator. Lower mount, adjusting strap (top mount) and bracing plate. The double legged adjusting strap and bracing plate are used to spread the load of the top mount over three bolts, instead of one, to protect the alloy front cover from cracking.
Regards,
Colin.

I have to agree Phil, specially if your best player has a broken ankle and your other whizzkid on the other flank keeps making a ham of his string. We shall see though.

Sorry Rob, hijack and all.
