Thread: Shipping FRIDAY! - 2JR Alternator Clearance Bracket - Install a header in 30secs!

If you're talking about that bushing on the bottom, use the short alternator bolt and a washer to pull it from the other side so you can get a bigger gap.

Love the bracket. I did some test fitting with my turbo manifold this past weekend and it was great to not worry about the alternator at all. Easy on easy off.

I'm talking about the long alternator bolt right under it, I cant get it to match up with the hole and its so difficult to move, its not budging

At the bottom of the alternator there is, what I like to call, a slider nut. As you tighten the bolt that nut slides inward until it's flush with the mount and holds the alternator firmly. If you take the top and bottom bolts out and shake the alternator, relatively vigorously, the sliding nut will slide back into the alternator giving you more room to maneuver the alternator and making it easier to align the bolt with the nut.

And Joe, I got mine in today. Thanks!

i did this last night and ran into the same problem with the oem bushing but its an easy fix just take a bolt some washers and a nut and tighten it up until you get more clearance

Can someone post pictures with the this adapter and the engine in the bay? Need to grab one of these up soon and would just like to know what it gives for clearance.

There you go. Just one page back.

We built our ACB with 1mm extra clearance for a tighter fit. For racing and hard core use, its what was needed.

Joe, are you still planning to include this bracket with the purchase of your header? I recall this was mentioned a while back either here or in the header thread.

How much is shipping for these? I'm needing one and will order it Thursday.

Try the site 2j-racing.com. add to cart and checkout

Yes, I was basically asking if the free shipping was valid at this time. Thanks......

I just finally got around to installing this. It's a great product and I had zero problems with installing it.

Just one question, though. After installing it, I took the car out for a test drive and at higher RPMs, there's a whining kind of noise, kind of like a supercharger would make. Other than that, it drives normally, and the sound cannot be heard at lower RPMs or at idle.

What do you guys make of that? Is it from the added tension on the belt? It's a pretty new OEM belt.

Bump. Anybody have any idea what the whining sound could mean?

How could the belt be too loose if it's automatically tensioned?

It kind of sounds like a supercharger whine that gets louder with RPM. It could be doing it all the time, but maybe I only notice it at higher RPMs because it gets loud enough to be audible over the motor.

What took a shit on you?

I didn't change the belt when I installed the ACB. I replaced the belt awhile ago when I installed the crank pulley and it didn't make any noise at all up until I installed the ACB.
