not using V belts ?

[Plug]

not got the stuff so trying multi V 1st

[General Baxter]

get the hammer ready to do an chassis clearance mod then ;)

[Plug]

this doesnt help is there a tensioner missing or not lol :)

Also i fitted it in my missus nova and it clears and bigs has it on the multi v IIrc in his loon

[General Baxter]

you need to replace the top bracket holding the alternator on, with a slider adjustable one :)

[Plug]

ok cheers mate 1.4 sr one fit you reckon?

[General Baxter]

i think mine was of a seh engine

[Fow16v]

there is a tensioner availible, some of the 1.4 sports came without pas, rather than use a tensioner i bought a shorter belt then bolted the alternator in place im sure it was an 860 belt then wedge the alternator and fit top bolt. No chassis mod needed.

I will have a look through epc now for the tensioner part no.

[Plug]

okie doke i will make somethin lol

[Jon_nova1]

thats not fitting lol

as Baxter says, replace the alternator bracket with a sliding one, the 1.4sr is the same as the 1.2/1.4, looks to me like you could do something with abit of flat bar and a drill though!

I tried to make a normal adjuster for mine & it was a ball ache. using the GM tensioner is the way forward IMO. Nice one Fow for putting up all the info you'd need.

Btw multi-V belt & pulley fitted fine in my car.

[AlexW]

As the wide belt stuff does in mine.

Baxter i thought you had space too?

I know southie hasnt, but he has solid mounts.

[General Baxter]

yeah but its so much better with a V belt lol

[AlexW]

Oh yeah i know that, more fun trying to fit a belt onto a wide setup.

It will work though.

[Adam]

Yes you are missing the tensioner bracket and bolt that bolts onto the back/top of the alternator. You then just wind the bolt to tension the belt.

Late Corsa SPi's had them

[Plug]

i made an top adjuster :)

Also another question im guessing the corsa rear engine mount is differant to the nova one as my engine is sitting rather forward

[Adam]

you need nova mounts all round

[AlexW]

Corsa gear linkage is different too

[Plug]

i know the linkage is differant.

the mount is aswell lol ill get some pics of the clearance. loads of room at the back :)

Adam can you change the title to c16xe help please as im sure ill have some more questions to chuck at the thread tomorrow (ill pm you)
