pic request cup altternator set

[wilky19]

ive had a search and can't seem to see a pic of a cup aux set up on a f4r lump.(out of bay)

has any one got a pic so i can see if it will fit in a mk1 bay.

also how is it tensioned? is like the mk1 with an adjustable tensioning pulley or like a standard 172 set up with a auto tensioner

I'm going to try it in my mk1 bay in the next week or so when time allows (on F7R)

the tensioning is done by movement of the alternator. it's pulled up on a screw thread then clamped off with a bolt on the adjuster and the pivot

right so it tensions like a non pas set up if you get what i mean.

is the pas above the alternator like a valver set up

edit think i found a pic of one

is this a cup setup

if you've seen the volvo setup, then you know how the cup setup works. It's just a cast aluminium version of the bracket that's a lot bigger and bolts to the front of the block rather than just the end/side

ah ok

is the pic above a pic of the cup set up? if so i dont reckon it will fit in a mk1 bay, the pump looks to be close to the where the subframe mounts.

it is

that belt is fitted wrong though

i'm certain it wont fit with the PAS pump on, it doesn't with the volvo brackets

right i was looking for an alternative to the valver set up for the pas. but if it wont fit ill have to look for another solution.

if you want to keep PAS, i recon the valver bracketry is your best bet
