You'l just have to try it im afraid, if its the same as mine it wont fit :(
I have the same brackets on the F4R, tried to fit a 172 alternator but it sits over too far slightly one way and doesnt line up with the tensioning bracket properly, so im still running the Mk1 alternator!
I think its just one perm feed with no fuse to the stalk. Then the stalk feeds the headlights etc directly (goes out to scuttle panel fusebox on a Mk1) then out of that to the headlight and so on...
Its just a modified standard williams loom at the moment, but its due a re-wire shortly to which...
My cars a Ph2, well 2.5 i think.
Just using the indicator and light stalk, wiper one is removed/stripped from loom.
What do you need to know, what goes to what pin? that all?
Brake/Carb Cleaner from local factors for a few quid as said :)
Removal wise, pull the pipe off the airbox and inlet, then undo the 10mm nuts holding the bracket on that supports the valve itself. Undo the connector on top and it should come free.
I have a picture somewhere with 13's on the back of my old Mk1, il have a look lol.
The 5' wheels I tried for a laugh would not fit over front brakes properly, other 13's might though.
Put hosepipe down side of engine and blast the subframe off...take it for a drive then leave something under the car, plastic/cardboard. Then see if it leaks any more.
If it does id be checking for cracks in the box if its not the shaft
No worries, ive been informed the easiest way to get them out is to tack a bolt onto the back of them with the welder, then undo and replace with proper headed 8.8 bolts.
Thanks anyway everyone!
Either bad earth or wired upto the wrong pin on the alternator (if its a Mk1 2 pin connector on the alt)
At the end of the day its only a warning to say if the alt isnt charging properly really, just a signal wire connected up wrongly it sounds like
After a bit of looking around, it looks like a RIBE / Polydrive head. But, I can only seem to find those types in male tools, where I need a female one.
Does anyone know what the pattern is? And where I can get a tool...
Thanks.
