I know some of you guys bought your engines from american speed. Do you contact them directly in the USA or is there a UK outlet? I cant find an Email address for them on the website. I want an alternator bracket and kit from them to stop my alternator flexing. The factory tell me that american speed sell them. ?? Unless you know of a local alternative?

I made one up. It's only a small piece of angle iron.

Does the trick though.

Hey Paul, where is your alternator mounted?

Mine is on the top left of the engine (looking from the front of the car) and is secured primarily by a large bolt onto a heavy alloy plate... however it is still begining to twist... this from a 'reputable' UK engine builder

my alternator is on the lower right hand side (as you look at the front of the ultima) It is a very weedy bracket, It is a REAL STEEL one and a bit naff. Nothing like the one in the photos which looks a proper job! I think I need to start again with a whole new bracket etc. One of my bolts has broken off flush to the block. so it is very loose. Another winter job I think! Cable ties are doing the job for now but only just!
