Outer Limits 4x4 Board

anyone come up with a way of keeping the muddy water out of the alternator on an 80 4.5 petrol, all bash plates are in place.

And no i wont go around, defeats the purpose of a 4by an muddies.

Any other ideas appreciated

re mount it up high in the engine bay

no sorry i havent.

could move it to other side of engine etc, just need to fab a mount etc.

Where do they normally mount an endless air compressor in the 80?

Mate carry a squeezeable drink bottle and give it a blast after muddy holes,
you will know when its not charging as all the lights on the dash come on,
Don't turn the car off, coz it might not start again and flood with clean water
Hope this helps

well for a start you have cooked it by owning a petrol motor.

and second try not hitting the mud hole at 60ks an hour

hows this for an idea
plumb in a windscreen washer bottle with fitting directly into the brush assy
then an air fitting connected with an arb airlocker solinoid to blow it dry after washing?

would be a cool party trick

Take it off when it is dry and hit it with a rubber mallet, wash and blow dry but that only fixes it. just dont go in the pigpen at cruiser haha

yer that pig pen stuffed mine and me mates on the same day haha lol
