Vitesse 6 top alternator bracket

[ahebron]

I am fitting a Lucas type Alternator to my Vitesse 6.

But I dont have a top bracket for it.

What is the  bracket distance between the alternator and the thermostat housing bolt? 

I have seen the ones using a turnbuckle and I like that idea. 

 

Thanks

this was with a 75 amp alternator we just used the ori dynamo bracket , shorted the threaded bottom mount to align the pulley

and a straight adjuster bar ,  but no idea of the length now

A bracket from the later Big 2000 Saloon is correct.

Straight? It looks like it curves upwards....    I'm just back from Specsavers too so it can't be the fault of the glasses.

I have the adjustable bracket on mine, it works well and looks shiny; probably overkill though. The Motor Museum at Beaulieu use them as tensioners on their wire fences....

twas a while ago ,  senior moments rules

I recommend glasses; slippers don't hold enough beer.
