Alternator adjuster - anyone tried these?

Gents, mine went in fine with the original spacer provided, apart from me shearing the old bolt when I took the old tensioner off! Fortunately there was another bolt just next to the broken one which also fits. Another job on the future list......
Have you any pics from when you installed it Keith ?? would be interested to see how mine differs as it appears I'm the odd one out so far. If Adam can't supply, the original is still available but of course more costly .

Without sounding as though I am being a numpty....what is the benefit of a rose jointed adjuster?
It's just way easier to tighten it a little on the opposite thread adjuster bar, rather than trying to pull the alternator against the belt tension, hold a spanner on one side of the nut and a socket wrench on the bolt head, whilst trying to feel for the 1/2" of belt movement.adam quantrill said:
I have one made up "in stock" and can make more easily.
There's another advantage to them - if you want to take the belt off you keep it on the adjusted setting and slip it off the alternator end - then it will go back on and works straight away.
I take it thanks. Same payment details as previously listed?There's another advantage to them - if you want to take the belt off you keep it on the adjusted setting and slip it off the alternator end - then it will go back on and works straight away.
