Thanks for the help lads and the offers of replacement shells, The good man at carrick engineering welded it up for me for a Tenner :)

Well sadly the plate on the unit is wiped clean, that old I think. :) I took some pics and hopefully one of yours matches.

I finish work at 10 and I'll have a peek and see if it's a 16acr, I presume it's written on the Alternator?

Sadly it's a mounting hole, will give the scrappies a call tomorrow and see if they got any in, failing that I'll see if somebody can weld it as sadly I've only got a MIG welder with steel wire.

Where did you get a new front end for it?

I kinda broke the corner off my alternator and was looking for tips on reattaching it. I've had a google and people say, Super Glue or JB weld Epoxy Adhesive, are these products sufficient or is there a better way. Thanks Chris

I got a 2.5na with an LT77

Sorry I didn't explain myself properly. It's item 18 on the list, which has 3 part numbers.

Mine looks like this

I'm needing to replace this due to a rather large hole, I've got the part number for mine which relates to my chassis number but it looks nothing like mine. Mine is cylindrical but the one that says is mine is rectangular. Number 2 is the one that looks closest to mine. Am I ok ordering this one?

Aye, it's a full rebuild. Only thing that ain't been changed is 3 of the con rods and the crankshaft. I just wish I was better at painting lol

Bah, I was sure I was right lol. Glad I asked. I just got the heat sitting on top of it at the moment as I'm still waiting on my torque wrench to come.

Pretty sure it's the 2nd pic, just want to double check.

This way ? Or this way ?

Ok I'm a tad confused about torquing up the head bolts, I got the diagram that says waft order to do then I'm but in the torque setting it just says 90 pound, aren't they supposed to go up in steps?

Sad you don't stay up near me in Scotland, could defo use your services :)

What is it you actually do, a mechanic?

Fast reply lol. You should sell your services. Thanks for a nudge in telling me to get my injectors checked. Turns out all 4 had messed up spray patterns. All been serviced with new bottoms on them :)

One of my bell housing studs only wants to go in at an angle. I think I need to retap it, is it going to be an issue leaving this one stud off or shall I get it retaped?
