Balmar 60-100-SV Alternator -12 Volt 100 Amp Single Pulley

Tech Tip

When you mount the alternator to the engine the mounting bolt must be the same diameter as all the holes it passes through. If it isn't bushings are available to modify the mounting tabs of the alternator.  When you tighten up the mounting bolt the bushing at the back foot of the alternator slides forward to tighten up the gap.  At this stage the alternator should be firmly fixed with no wobble.   You must get this right or the alternator will become cocked as you tighten up the belt and the resulting misalignment will cause excessive belt wear.
