My TVR hates going out!

[Mr WST]

It must do. Somehow I've managed to completely snap the alternator bracket whilst driving.
I'm beginning to think she likes to stay indoors

There might be something you haven't checked..Tightened properly?...Mine does that...Its like they are haunted and they are trying to talk to you.....


Or your just crap at doing up nuts...

an agoraphoblic tvr

plenty of super unleaded down her neck should sort that out lol

[Mr WST]

Kick up the ass it needs
It's in for MOT next week and to source a new bracket or get it welded.

It'll be right in time for Holland, don't want the Vaux following us again!

Use one of Adams adjustable alternator bracket/tensioners. It looks the part and certainly makes adjustment sooo easy. Well recommended.

[Mr WST]

I'm getting attached to the Vauxhall Colin haha

If I can't source one Adams sound interesting. ..
I'm sure he will be along soon

Hell's teeth, the alternator adjuster is 1/4" plate, how do you snap that? Or is it the big alloy casting on the front of the head that's broken? Mine cracked years ago but the bolt tension keeps it in place, I'll get round to TIGing it one day...

[Mr WST]

It's the support casting
Had to cable tie it all together and limp home after
All I want is one year free of troubles....)

[mrzigazaga]

Out of interest is that down to over torque on the fixing bolt or just a steel meets alloy thing....Or both..

[Mr WST]

It's snapped right on the bend of the alloy bracket.
It's a good job my battery light came on
