7M alternative alternator mount

[whatthe?]

I am are slightly concerned about the proximity of alternator to runners, can anyone suggest a M series factory mount that will reposition it to where the aircon compressor used to be?
If I can move it down there then the bend can be taken out and the runners shortened somewhat...

All M motors had the Alt on the otherside of the engine as far as I know so nothing that will bolt up that i can think of.

Maybe an idea would be to use the Air con mounts to bolt a plate on there and bolt the std brackets to that.

Or just make a custom bracket for it.

I knew the 5M was like that, was hoping perhaps others werent

Anyone know anyone who makes/has made them? My fabricator isnt too keen....

Tottal O/T but I'm loving the bellmouths on that manifold whatthe, makes me feel all fuzzy just lokking at them.

Have a look around the wrecking yards for the older models.
Just remembered that the early 4M I had used a plate that bolted to the block then the A/C comp bolted to that so maybe one of those is what you need.

See if Fernando can turn it up for ya, especially if you've got the cad design.

By the looks it's a flat plate, I'm sure linden can handle that. See my build thread for pics

[LeeRoy]

That is a pretty sweet looking bracket. I might go to pickies tomorrow cause i need a falcoon alt. I'll have a look around for suitable brackets.

Cheers bud, appreciate it. Dont search for too long tho, everyone tells me theres no toyota part that'll do the job

[whatthe?]

Here's another concept. Uses the standard alternator adjustment bracket apparently. Opinions?

[LeeRoy]

Yeh but the solid plate one looks shit loads better and you want your one as low as possible don't ya.

I'll settle for easiest at the moment. Besides, my throttle body is eleventybillion times bigger than the one in that pic, ought to draw focus away from the mount

Gosh... that's going to make idle control a little hairy
I'd love some flowbench figures on it though


'I'm sorry sir, but the throttle ATE MY FLOWBENCH... It also seems to be rapidly consuming my entire workshop...'
