Alternator
Catégorie: Engine : Firewall forward

Before reinstalling the alternator, I first bolt the oil cooler to the baffle. I also install the hoses to check the fit. The engine outlet hose can not be connected to the straight fitting I installed there as it is slightly too short. I had no elbow fitting before engine hanging.



But I have one now, so off goes the straight fitting. Installing the new fitting is not that easy with the engine hanging but it worked in the end.



The some finishing tasks on the alternator. First the bols for the main bracket get torqued ans safety-tied.



Then there are three bolts to safety-tie. The two on the left and the one far right.



For the one on the right I had a nut on a stud the starter is bolted on.



The other two bolts shouls normally be safety-tied together, however there will be some difficulties redoing this safety-tie during maintenance with the starter ring gear in the way.
So I decided to safety tie them independently using a method found on internet by installing two washer with pop rivets.
