Greetings all,

I have a couple ??? Regarding an alternator upgrade on my 1986 240.

I FINALLY got fed up with the remanned alts after exchanging TWO Bosch types due to misclocking of the rear half(terminal locations) got a refund and bought a
Nippondenso 80 amp alt from the Ol fleabay.
Bolted in perfectly with two exceptions.
One is the stock adjusting bracket seems to be a tad short leaving the belts quite loose. How would I remedy this situation? Is the bushing in the block simply bad? I know the adjuster is loose per say on the engine side but the Bosch doesn't have issues with this.

Two:
What's the best way to extend the b+ cable is say about 6" if that. It does fit as is but seems like I'd have to cut the protective sheath covering the wires to get the OP wire back on.

Any suggestions especially regarding the bracket will be greatly appreciated as I'm at wits end with the thing.

They are supposedly drop in upgrades. What am I missing here???

Geoff
