Fitted the new alternator this morning. Typically, not straight forward.
Took the fan and pulley off the old alternator and the pulley is threaded and screwed on to the rotor shaft.

However, the pulley just slides over the threads of the new rotor shaft, but has a big sprung washer instead.

Suppose there's not too much force on there even at full lelecrical load.
Next issue is the thin bolts that run through the alternator to hold it together aren't long enough to fit the heat shield back on
Also, the bottom bolt hole on the new alternator is threaded, old one clearance hole
It's a tad irritating
Anyway, giving the battery a top up with the charger before I try it.
