style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>I don't currently have headers, but the
alternator I recently installed leaves even more room at the rear than the
generator does, so I'm sure it would fit. I got the tip from Christian
"Mad" Marx (Thanks Chris!) to use the alternator from a 89 Suzuki
Swift.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><span class=PlainTextChar><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>I made the mounts you see myself; but I believe the
front mount could have been cut down from a stock piece, and the back mount
could have been made from a length of 3/8" water pipe and a long bolt. The
stock pulley bore fit the alternator perfectly, but I did have to modify the
pulley a bit in the lathe and use a small spacer between it and the front
bearing (so it would clear the housing). I believe Chris found an
aftermarket pulley for his, but I didn't try that.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><span class=PlainTextChar><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>FWIW, using the same cogged Gates belt as before, it's
even easier to R&R than with the generator. I can actually work it
into position with my fingers, rather than having to crank the engine to walk
it over the water pump pulley as I did before. All of the original wiring
was left intact, I just added a sub-harness from the alternator to the
(internally stripped and modified) control box.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>
