I bought a Bosch one from BMS on exchange for £60ish. They had it on the shelf as well. Asked for an Astra GTE 16v one.

my gsi alt is different? the nut that holds the pullry on pokes out and will foul the chassis by the looks of things:confused:

A little off topic but looking at the gap between the alt/cambelt case ive shed loads more room is this normal to have varied gaps or hav i done something wrong.

Sorry for spaming your thread auzzy.:thumb:

no worries mate, i think lots of nova's varie due to tolerances when the cars were made..

Probably because i have no cutout in my chassis leg mate, it was just slit, pushed back and welded back up.....

I meant the engine in general ad because my alt cutout is a bit pikey but ive hammered it back but not half as much as that an i seem to have a good cm gap still and nearly an inch or so betwen the cam belt case an chassis :confused: .

Could be why then ad im only running standard rubbers.
