Most verniers do the same job and quality. I've used both Ally and steel verniers and both were fine, tho the Ally one from Rally Design (Kent Cams) did wear slightly but not enough to be a problem. Make sure you have a new tension pulley as well .
Nice setup there by the way ☺

Sorry for all the questions people but what alternators are people running on pintos, anything available with a little higher output

I've run a bosch Falcon XF alternator on my pinto for ages. . Very reliable and are or can be changed to higher amps.

Great project! Good to see another turbo pinto. Have you been over to the skogen racing forum? Loads of info on there for turbo pintos.
I use an XF Bosch alternator as well. You'll need an alloy RS bracket to fit one, the brackets can be difficult to get a hold of and will most likely need new bushes which are available from Mike @ Yesterford in Melbourne

Hi mate, just running an escort cable, you can see the bracket on the firewall behind the turbo in one pic
Cheers
