MWLoyale Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Could someone please explain how the alternator bracket without a/c should be put on? I got it all together, but couldn't tension the belt. I think I might be putting something together wrong or maybe I'm missing a piece? A picture would do me a ton of justice here. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Are you using all the old AC/alt brackets? XT were arse about compared to std non XT. Wot you got? I go for non AC bracket which uses separate L shape bracket bolts to head or cam box with 15? mm spacer. It had long adjuster slot and I use a 12A915 V belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbuoy Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Here is the alternator setup on my EA82 without A/C. I think there are two brackets? Did you just rip out A/C or never had A/C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subasaurus Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 jam a breaker bar between the block and Alternator, and just sort of feel the belt when it's "tight Enough". i used the Dealer Added A/C as my leverage point when tightening the alternator belt.

MWLoyale Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 I will take a couple pictures of what I'm talking about tomorrow, or maybe I'll have it figured out by then. Thanks for the input, but those aren't the same style bracket I have. I'm using a 87 or 88 gl alternator bracket. Does not have a spot for the a/c.

MWLoyale Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 that looks like a completely different bracket than the one i have pictured, don't you agree?

Expand I’ve never seen a non a/c ea82 alternator bracket like that. My alternator bracket was off an 88 GL. I don’t even think that bracket is for EA81 either Edited November 2, 2018 by alexbuoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It fits the bolt holes on the head perfectly so I'm pretty sure it's a Subaru part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
