Hi going to fit alternator conversion kit ...so I can' find the how to on here about the wiring as not good with wiring. Can someone point me in the right direction....cheers
All I can say is, it’s worth dropping the engine to do - I speak from recent experience. It will save an awful lot of swearing and skinned knuckles trying to get the fan off / dynamo stand out with the engine in situ. It made sense for me as I had a bunch of other stuff to do on the engine anyway. If you’re in striking range of Woking I’d happily swing by but I must warn you - I’m tea powered. Stirlingmoz
If you have the chance of a genuine stand over the repro one that comes with the kit Then I’d use a genuine stand The repro ones have been known to crack in the casting.
Just been out to the shed. This one is a repro part too Brand new never fitted. Didn’t know the repro part could crack in service. Wasn’t trying to stripe you up with anything dodgy. Incidentally I’ve just recalled that the VW guy I use when I’m out of my depth (quite regularly) recommended removing the rear pair of mounting studs from the engine case and using equivalent threaded bolts to fit the stand. Apparently it means the stand can then be removed without disturbing the inlet manifold. The advice was too late for me as I’d steamed ahead and got it all done before I saw him. Stirlingmoz
