Because I got such a late model Commodonor (VF) it has all the great new features, such as a friggin' clutch pulley on the alternator.
Now normally I'd be wrapt about this, however it doesn't fit! As you can see in the pic below, I had to raise the engine to fit the alternator, but if I lower it that extra protrusion will not clear the chassis member.
It turns out that every alternator
before the VF had a standard pulley without that extra sticky out bit. And also new Pace chassis have a slightly different structure here (part of the continually improving product lifecycle) that would allow this alternator setup to fit. Luck of the draw!
Anyway, does anyone have a good condition alternator they be keen to swap, or even better a completely stuffed one that I could rescue the pulley from?
