Hi, Well, I finally started the generator to alternator swap on Tuesday. I got the Generator off rather easily and swapped the mount and got everything put back together. However when I tightened the 36mm fan bolt, it bound up,  m-d I need more shims... &m& Had to order some! So now I will have to take it all apart again and add the shims, put it all back together again...  :wallbash: Happy happy joy joy  I1t  I still have to do the wiring inside the car as well. It's always something...  The car gods really like to mess with me! (love

Cheers,
Marc  stoned#

I'm sure somebody has some extra shims laying around...How many / how thick do you need to make up to get where you need to be?

I'm not sure it will be trial and error, usually error but that is just the car gods effing with me  !5!

You are wrong this time sensei 777  I am only putting on the alternator since the car gods decided to make my voltage regulator / generator fail at 2 years old.  Had it kept working I would not have taken the alternator out of the basement to put on the car. So I was not fixing what was not broken...  I do get where you are coming from, and would not have blamed the car gods without reason, they are already effing with me on the new car, so I really don't want to piss them off any further...   but thanks for the  (love  and the offer of shimms.
