d384 fhv Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 I have driven it. its all taxed and tested but the belt snapped because i modifyed the pullys to a single v instead of having the multi v. Best 80 miles i ever drove anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I relocated the altenator to the nearside using the bracket from a 3.0 Monza. I measured the length of belt required, went to the local auto factors and they sorted me out. Will have a look at it at the weekend and post the part No up.

d384 fhv Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Thanks greg did you use the original crank and water pump pullys or did you change them to a single v? Also what did you use for the tensioner? Thanks mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveopel Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hi what i did was make up a bracket to use the manta one i used the pulley off the Senny alternator it fits with a little tweeking onto the Manta one, i then used the flat belt same as the original but shorter the code on them is the length but im sure i have the number somewhere if you dont get sorted let me know i just measured it up and popped down to the local auto factors like Greg said, i used a escort radiator with twin fans, i had the sump modified and left the arb in place, all bin fine since she was fitted and still going well last thing i fitted was a super chipped ecu just for a laugh there is quite abit on the forum have a search for it theres plenty of info on it Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
