Hey guys trying to get everything mounted to finalise the electrics
what size are the starter motor bolts?
I also have no brackets for the alternator, what's my best options some pics would be great

The bolts for both are 10mmx1.5mm thread in varying lengths. Check my Corty build thread for a pic of the late alternator bracket,a VL Commondore 6cyl Bosch alternator is a perfect fit...just needs an appropriate pulley

Got any pics Phil?

Cheers Phil I have Ef alternator that I have to change the pulley on
any way.

Does anyone happen to have a bracket laying around?

The EF alternator fits better with an alloy cortina mount,the best combo that I have found is the late cossie mount with the VL Bosch unit...being perfect without mods other than the pulley change.

Below is the EF style Bosch unit on a 2L Cortina bracket...fits but is a mix and match.



Top Centre in the below pic is an alloy version of the late Cossie bracket, I have a modified original bracket which is steel if your interested,it has been modded to lower the alternator by about 10mm.I have a vbelt pulley to suit a Bosch alternator as well if thats what your running.

I've also got a couple of the alloy Cortina mounts if you would rather go that way. One other advantage of the Cossie mount is that it fits up with 4 bolts instead of 3 with the Cortina mount.

Cheers,

Phil.

Cheers for your help I think the alternator is a mitsibishi type from memory. I will grab the cossie bracket and work with that What do you want for it?
Any chance you have a 2wd water pump and pulley laying around to?

Hi Luke,

I have my old waterpump and pulley,both cossie 2wd and in good order when removed How does $100 for the lot sound?

Sounds good mate you want to get a price on sending them to Perth I need some exahust studs to if you got any or know a local supplier.
Cheers

Hi Luke,

Studs will have to come from the UK as they are a special type with extended tip to reduce the chance of breaking. I will weigh it up but can hopefully sneak it into a 3kg bag @$10...will let you know
