My Silvertop alternator bracket has snapped again. I believe it to be a Ginetta made thing that weigh's more than the moon. Ive welded it twice and others have tried beforehand. appears to snap in 4 different places.


Anyone tried one of these?

Silly question but.. do you have a spacer crush tube between the lugs?

No I don't will that make much difference?

Interesting, although both my lug's had independent bolts not one long single.

Lug's still failed.

Will knock up a tube later

Thanks

I think the best answer is to fit a tensioner..
When you rev an engine you can see the tensioner moving on a cam belt keeping correct tension..
Got to be similar on your alternator pulley preventing constant tugging on alternator brackets..

Has anyone figured out and fitted a generic aftermarket tensioner to fit on a 2.0 Blacktop?

I have a solid idler pulley adjuster - i will make a locost tensioner at some point..
