Will a ph1 172 Alternator fit Cup Bracket??

Hi folks, as above...

Can anyone confirm 100% whether or not you need to use a Cup Alternator with Cup Alternator Brackets?

I am removing the aircon system from my ph1 172.

Cheers, Baggers.

Thanks for the super-quick response Fred!

What's the difference between the two? They look v similar (to the untrained eye)...

you know what? i honestly can't remember!! something to do with the mounting points i think

Ok, guess the search is on for a Cup Alternator...

Anyone got one??

yeah wont fit..

you got the long bolt hole (the lower one) on the bottom, thats the same.. but the top one (the small adjuster bolt) is further offset towards the pulley area.

i couldnt really see a viable way of modding the ff alternator to fit cup brackets i did try
