Alternator issues & inlet manifolds sealing?

Ok, alternator diodes and voltage regulator stuffed. Quoted $100 for each part plus labour with a new one coming in at $400 minimum.

My mates got a Griffith 500 alternator (same numbers A1271 100A) and having adjusted a 24mm to get the spindle off, it fits perfectly.

I’ve re fitted the fuel rail assembly as one - my initial concerns about it not fitting were overcome with gentle moving and aligning each bolt and tightening slightly. Ensuring every bolt was screwed in enabled me to tighten up. Worked a treat with no messing about trying to squeeze injectors on.

She now runs sweet having warmed up and adjusted again.

Cheers fellas.

Well done squire !
...as with all TVR probs, a few 'virtual beers' look at, drizzled in a touch of persistence
'n' she's as right as a Dingo's Downbelows



(Oooooh, 'n' Spring's in the air down there)

I'd suggest that your failing alternator has been the root of your running issues for a while... glad for you that it came to a head and is now sorted; keep the faith and enjoy your Cerb

Great news, well done.

Great thanks fellas!
It is nice to be driving her again. Running really well and not guzzling the fuel! Throttle pots still bouncing around more than I would like but at least they are close to where they should be.
