Here you can see we ran into another little problem. The alternator bolts to the water pump...and as you can see from the above posts, we made a billet unit so we can't bolt the alternator to that!

So, we did a quicky left and right hand threaded shaft to adjust the alternator. This is just a temporary fix to get the motor running until we can think of something cooler to make. Also, notice the double pulley alternator on the motor...Checker send us the wrong part (should be a single pulley alternator). But, the double pulley unit works well for packaging considerations.
