AC delete kit - Lambert Engineering

[Greg.w]

Hello all,

Recently picked up a cheap 182 that I'm modifying in to a track car.

First job on the cards is the delete the air con as it doesn't work anyway.

Has any one used the Lambert Engineering one?

CLIO MK2 172 CUP STYLE ALTERNATOR TENSIONER & BELT SET UP

A SIMPLE YET EFFECTIVE SOLOUTION FOR THE CLIO 172 ALTERNATOR SET UP. REMOVED THE AKWARD TO FIT AND WORK ON AUXY TENSIONER AS STANDARDRETAINS ORIGIONAL ALTERNATOR AND BOTTOM BRACKET. NO NEED FOR THE EXPENSIVE AND HARD TO COME BY CUP PARTSSUPPLIED WITH CORRECT BELT AS PER OPTIONS GIVEN, FITTING...

Seems well priced at around £100 delivered, keeps the 182 alternator and does away with the auto tensioner.

Any issues with it?

Thanks
Greg

Or any other kits that are cheapish?

Yeah I went with the kit, got in in hand and looks fine. Not got around to fitting yet. Once fitted I'll report back

I run something similar but the rod is bolted to one of the eyes on the block to tension the belt. It runs the waterpump backwards but I've never had an issue

It's hard to photograph🤣
