Then you can run a fan belt to your air con , or use a longer belt to run from motor to alternators to air con . However they must be unaligned to provide grip on the pulleys . The bracket could be made to allow adjustment or the adjustment could come from the alternator side of the motor .You may even need to change to a double pulley harmonic balancer.

Yeah I did see Waynes photos just after I posted,he has done a beautiful job there,I didn't want to cut up the original bracket but it seems to be the only way Thanks again guys Simo |
