Hi everyone,
Last problem I had was with the brake master cylinder, and after a
whole 2 days of driving pleasure, the alternator went out on me. So I
spent some time learning electrics, and determined the unit was bad. Had
it rebuilt at a local alternator shop here, and I'm having trouble getting
all the bolts back in. This may be merely that I haven't wanted to move
the tensioning bolt for the fan belt, or the pulley which they put on the
freshly rebuilt alternator is different, but I'm not sure. So, for the
novice question of the night, do I have to loosen the tension on the fan
belt to get everything to line up properly, or does someone have a photo of
an alternator I could look at? Haynes has a picture of a bare alternator,
but the part I want to see isn't shown, and Bentley isn't too much better.
For all the MG books I have, I haven't found a clear picture yet.. Thanks
in advance, Nina
