Mainly changed due to screaming alt bearings, and tired of reco ing and/or replacing.
EF falcon alt has been fitted, more easy to find, and in better nick than most zook 2nd hand stuff.
So I can easily fit another next time I accidently take Frog swimming in the ooze.
I didn't need to change the pulley, as I'm already multi v belted.
They lined up nicely, just got an extra 3 unused v's.
In my case, redrilling holes wasn't required, maybe cos its a swift donk alt bracket? But I did need to drill out the captive nut. This could be cut off tho.
I used the falcon 1 bolt straight thru, for ease of future removeability.
Only needed a small bit of grinding on top mount, a lot less than expected, but this could be cos of swift adjuster mount thingy? Slider hole needed reaming a tad, as bolts larger.
I had a new alternator wire made up by auto elec, suitable for 100 amps, going straight to battery, as my wiring is old and suspect. This also included a fuseable link, which has been missing from frog for a very long time
Thought that be better than old wires from wreckers.
Heres hoping its a long lasting piece of equipment.
And hopefully lights won't dim in time with the indicators now
NB. A slightly longer fan belt may have been wise, as fitting belt was quite hard......but I'm not wise, I ground off a sticking out bit on alternators case, and problem was solved. Now my spare belts are still useable.
Thanks to all for advice and support.
