Alternator Adjuster arm

[Mr Plow]

Hi all

Trying to put an S3 back together that I didn't take apart. It turned out the box of bits was missing an alternator. I've now sourced an alternator thanks to philpots help.
My next challenge is that the alternator adjuster arm is also missing....
Does anyone have a spare I could borrow to allow me to make one or could anyone draw me a picture with measurements that I can use?

Cheers

Liam

Hi Liam, back home in a couple of days, should have my old one somewhere. Made myself one with a couple of spherical joints and a turnbuckle.

Thanks Mike. That would be really helpful. Happy to borrow the original and make one. Can't imagine it's too complicated to make a copy.

You can make one up using a turnbukle and rose joints. I bought a stainless one off evilbay.

Spacer sleeve to deal with the offset and you can get the tension spot on really easily.

Thanks Stuart. Can you remember size and length you used?

Hi Liam, you are welcome to borrow mine as a pattern for a few weeks if it helps you. I'm in the Chew Valley, which I don't think is a million mile away from you? If you fancy a drive over drop me a PM.
Cheers, Stu

Hi Stu

Thanks for the offer, yes not far away at all. I'll try and make something up using the turnbuckle and rose joint approach I think. I may take you up on the offer to drive over to take a look at where wires go etc if you don't mine at some point. I currently have a few stray wires, I'm not sure what they're for. But that's for another day, one step at a time

Could anyone confirm the length of the bracket so I can get the right length turnbuckle etc?

Cheers

Is it this you want, my engines out at the moment so can measure it up easily for you if you want.

That is the bit, not sure if the 2.8 and 2.9 are the same, could anyone confirm?
