Post by **cooki_monsta** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 10:10 pm

ok so i have an el ex chaser alt. its 110A made by bosch and a little larger then std, just wondering if anyone has fitted these to their pat. and also how they mounted it to the car and pref a wire pinout of the ford alt. i need grey/red and yellow. From memory the yellow is constant power

Wiring should plug straight in !!

All you need to do is put on a larger ring fitting and plug in.

Bottom mounts you will need to make spacers for, and either use the ford bolts to suit or alter the bolt mounts to suit GQ bolts.

Top mount from memory needs some sort of different bolt.

Just make sure the spacer line the belts up otherwise you'll prematureally wear them out! It's one of the best mods I've done except mines a 140amp leese neville alternator. Plenty of juice

Mine is off the car at the moment with the modified bracket if you want to copy it.

You will also need longer belts.

you have to cut the standard lower braket and bring the 2 bolt holes closer together and then it fits in.

This then keeps the standard belt.

i found an easier temporary fix, flip it, then it bolts up

Post by **steveoo** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 10:35 pm

but you really need to make sure you have the 3 holes all in use since of the vibration

yea im making a bracket to bolt to the top and hold it onto the engine, once i find a suitable location and a decent bit of steel

then it would save me cutting things up, anyhow when i get around to making a photobucket account ill post my pictures up

given the popularity of this conversion, and the regular questions being asked about bolt in replacement ones, i think you would find yourself being thanked by many many people !

its a very cheap and, once im finished proving it, bolt in style upgrade to the standard , pitiful charging system of the patrol, and for around $100 who wouldnt want to upgrade?
