Alternator Tensioner: Gauging interest

<< < (2/2)

Rocketman:
I didn't know they had them on the Kias or Miatas. Why wouldn't they do that for the Capri!?!

Finding pics of the Kia part is proving difficult. The Miata part is almost what we are looking for, but it would have to be modified (unsure to what extent) to mount to our block (the Miata does not have an engine mount in the way to deal with)

My mindset is that it would be best & easiest to start from scratch, make something exact fit without modifying other parts or relying on junkyard or NOS dealer stock
The more we could do, the cheaper it could be to an extent

chrispoe:
Here's a pic of the Kia Rio's Alternator bracket. It mounts to the engine via the same bottom engine mount bolt as the stock Capri's alternator bracket does. Just remember to grab the longer top alternator bolt too cuz it runs thru the tensioner block and bracket unlike ours that just goes thru the bracket.
