As per the title the alternator/fan belt adjustment arm on my 500 pre-serp has broken.
Sheared off where the alternator bolts to it.

Simple question - where can I can another please?
Tried TVR Car Parts and they don't have any.

Any other suggestions welcome!

Cheers Andy

Thanks for the Rimmers suggestion - I’d completely forgotten about them.

Really like the look of that adjustable linkage but it will need a bit of a bracket redesign at the bottom end. Think I’ll buy one at that price and give it a go

Thanks for the advice
Cheers Andy

Quick update on this:

Went for an adjustable arm as recommended.
Dead easy to fit, just needed to make a small plate that is bolted to the oil cover using the original holes and use a slightly shorter fan belt
Also found a supplier for the original sliding arm.
