zukiru Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 I have one pic but it's too small. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9183&d=1323701025 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Star Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Just one angle, but heres my '86 wagon. No a/c and no power steering. The system looks just like those on ea81's if you are familiar with those. A bottom bracket and then a slider/tensioner arm thing on the side.

Quidam Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 This is one version where I removed the AC and got a new belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukiru Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) I have an outboard alt. will need factory fitment when AC removed. I have a source maybe for EA81 brackets so I will look into that. thanks guys my set up Edited February 3, 2012 by zukiru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylar Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Here's a Loyale I converted, three brackets. Doug Dont you need to get a different sized belt to run w/o AC ? I just got all 3 brackets and am taking out my ac tomorrow . Just wondering the part number for the belt or do I just order one for a non ac car LOL ?

zukiru Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 You can measure it with a string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subruise Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 yes, a string. wrap the string around the circumfrence of the belt, mark the string. measure length of said string. done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylar Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 well i got everything setup, then go to find out that the bolt that holds the bracket on the far right onto the block has been broken Any ideas on how to get that out ? ive had no luck with EZ outs, but my roomate had a stripped bolt on his hub and we welded a different nut to it and very slowly turned and it came loose and we got the stripped one out. So i think that method might work here but its on the block and our blocks are aluminum so on the other hand i dont think it will work :-\ here's a pic, would i be able to just leave it with one bracket ? It doesnt move if i tighten the one all the way down . And im pretty sure i can use the inside, smaller belt instead of going to find a new belt . How it sits: Broken Bolt where bracket should go : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukiru Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Reverse drill bit Or... helicoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylar Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hmm alright ill look into those. Never used a helicoil before. And im kinda skeptical about drilling into my block .. Technically not literally LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanurys Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Yeah, Helicoil it. A Helicoil in aluminum is a stronger connection than just aluminum threads. It is in an easy spot to drill, so just mark your bit depth with a piece of tape and go for it. I like to make a pilot hole with a reverse drill bit, first. Sometimes the sheered off bolt will come out with that. If that doesn't work, then use the correct bit for the Helicoil kit and stick that in there. The whole process usually only takes a few minutes. Edited February 14, 2012 by kanurys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
