So whats different about my dual alternator install ?

Well i kept aircon compressor on original mount but still drive 2nd alternator off aircon 4 groove poly belt.

And..... cost about $100 AUD

Well done mate! i have thought about a designated alternator for a welder in this position before, you have done a really neat install!:D:D

Good spot for onboard air also .

agreed my locker compressor fits behind the relocated
coolant tank and fuseholder

its the little fella though

ok, but why?

Theres one thing Id pick

you need to make the bracket a Y bracket so you pick up more than one of the timing cover bolts.

good install though, I might revisit the layout I was going to do to fit the endless air to SWMBOs disco.

i agree BK

the aftermarket alt mounts do have the "y"
shape you speak of
and i had to tighten alt mounts quite firm to
reduce belt vibration. my stay is made of stainless
though, used it coz it was lying around 5 mm by 25 mm,
alternator is off mitsubishi L300 60 amps,
$50 from wrecker chose as i used it As primary alt whilst
awaiting a new 100 amp marellli. The L300 unit had the closest
front end arrangement to fit in primary brackets with same
shaft/pulley xtension.
In othe words its a small light Alternator but will fit
in either position
