On saturday I took Biggy to see Adam 'dumdum' Daniels and John 'Daddy O' Aitken to get my new pair of alts fitted.
A while back we took off the standard alt and measured up for a custom bracket to mount the pair of 210A Renault alternators to. Adam got the brackets made up in 12mm steel plate
There is also a bracket for the back of the alts to - the large area at the bottom was to allow space for an idler
First up we had to remove the stock airbox and replace it with a cone filter - A massive thanks goes to Nick the Nurse for supplying me with the adaptor and cone filter!
We then test fitted the alts to make sure everything lined up
The alts needed no alignment - Adam had got it spot on!
We then mounted the Regulator on the old airbox mounts (this allows me to adjust the output voltage of the alts from the dash)
While John and I worked on this - Adam was modifying the alts to accept control from the regulator
Very Painful to watch your £160 alts bing butchered but the man knows what he is doing and once finished we where able to fit the 2 alts correctly
Here you can also see the idler mounted to the bottom of one mount- this allowed Adam to cut the baracked right down to prevent fouling o n the PAS pipes
As before alignment was spot on
Adam and his twins! the first twin alt install he has done - in his own words 'f**king easier than trying to fit 1 on a kia'
We then set about wiring in the Regulator
This has an adjustable pot mounted in the dash to allow me to adjust the system voltage
Set to 14.7 should give me a nice strong power supply
And here you can see everythign completed - cone filter in the back, regulator to the left
