[TR] Question on installing a Delco 7127 style alternator on a TR4A

[David Brister]

>A side note for anyone replacing the TRactor engine generator or doing an
alternator conversion... While you have the car apart, I'm pretty sure one 
or
more of the bolts that holds the lower mounting bracket to the engine 
pierces
all the way through to the engine's water jacket. If that the vibrated loose
and dropped out, the coolant would dump out and the engine will overheat 
very
quickly and badly. Check that those bolts are secure!  <

Actually that lower Dynamo/alternator bracket bolt goes through the side of 
the crankcase. If it vibrates undone whilst underway you will have an oil 
leak which would not shame BP and your engine bay will be rustproofed for 
many moons.

AMHIK,
