I am refitting my new alternator. There is a washer/spacer that came off from the longer pivot bolt (passengers side) but it while fitting the new one it looks like it should be fitted to the shorter bolt between the Alternator and the bracket.
It does mention in the AJP 8 book about fitting this but is not clear where it should go.

Cheers Any.
Thats where I fitted it in the end. It was fitted on the other side effectively pushing the alternator forward a 4mm or so the belt would have been out of align which hopefully would explain a strange noise (not the usual belt slip noise) I would get from that area from time to time.
