Update.

So after lots of messing about and Dan saying i must have another alt in the garage, i had a tiny clear up and found 3... One which was the same! Got the nut off and after a clean it fitted. But then it wouldn't turn very well, so took the alt apart again, found the bottom cup bearing wasn't seated fully down. Mr hammer fixed that. Rebuild and get fitted. Fitted my chromed adjuster arm too.. Big thanks to Dan his his help too.

Fitted.



Shame with the top hat cover on you can barely see it.. But you and i know it's there so i'm happy.

More car out of garage, finish cleaning under the arches and refit wing with the car running to check it's all happy. It is. wanted a proper test drive and the mrs wanted something collecting.. Perfect.....

Got down the road to find the alt now touches the chassis leg. Bollocks! But years ago i slotted the mount holes, so i'm gonna move it over tomoz, then it should all be fine. Then to see if i can break the cv by trying too...

While i was out, it would have been rude not to take a pic or two. Even if the car is filthy i took a few quick pics..







Then remember, drive shaft angle...



Better than it was before, no where near as much angle front to back too which is good.
