i think that hamering the chasses i will lose the robusty of it , i am tinking to fitet in an other place like the td engines but im not shor , do you tink is a good idea hemering the chasses or its bater to fittet like the td ?

[Riggy]

they will be thousands that have been fitted liek that , other option it to cut and weld a recess for it ,

i wanted to fit mine on the front of the block rather the hit my chassis leg , but i couldnt find enough info or someone who had the time to do it

[nova258]

i dont mind about time , i am fiting the engine me for my car and i have a full shal of a garaged nova to fitt on it , if i fittet the alternator just geve me your email and i will sand you pic of it and sises , case i dont know how to install pic here

Doesn't have to be as extreme as that, but it should give you an idea.

just hammer the sodding chassis. It WONT weaken it. Stop making yoru life so damn hard

[nova258]

ok i will do that i think its the ezey way to fittet

[Dod]

Yup, Sledge Hammer'd my Chassis leg to fit my C16SE. Aint pretty but works well.

[nova258]

i AM VERY CONCIS of chasse robusty case in malta we dont have A VERY good roads and the cars neads to handelet

[Dod]

I live In Ireland, and our roads are very very bad.

As for the Chassis leg, the car needs only to have the leg beaten back 5-10mm, not enough to do any damage or weaken the car.

Alternatively, you could get an Altinator and bottom pulley off an Early Cavalier SRi (Vectra GT) and use those instead. That way you can also do away with the Tensioner as with the Power steering pump.

You can put a front mounted Alt. on like Chris T did:

And fitted:

waw thats ezectly like i made 2 day :) 10x for your halp guys

[nova258]

what crank pully do you fitt on it?

[Adam]

Standard

[nova258]

the standart pully is multy v i nead to work like dat with singil v

[Adam]

Early Astra gte's were single V.

Or get the outer V lathed off to make it a single V

[nova258]

the problem is thjat is aonly sprokit multy v and it is a 4 bolt pully

[Adam]

Use however many holes line up with the crank.
Its not like its got a load of stress on it anyway :)

[nova258]

i do not under stand the last masseg

[Adam]

It will fit, some of the holes line up fine.
Just use the holes that line up

[nova258]

no it just the alternatopr only
