HELP! New alternator belts, now alternator fan hits adjuster bracket! 200 1992

Hello Rob:

Thanks for your quick and informative response! It looks like somebody broke the 10mm adjuster bracket mechanism-- it isn't there anymore... I was surprised to see that there wasn't one for the alternator belts when there was for the AC and power steering.

I have solved my problem in the short term by prying the alternator down and away from the block and tightening the 13mm lock nut. Before doing this I bent the remains of the crescent shaped slider mechanism upward. It no longer interferes and sounds much better!

When the weather improves I'll hit the boneyards and pick up the adjuster mechanism so that I can do this right the next time!

The bozo who trashed the adjuster mechanism deserves to spend an afternoon in a walk-in freezer...

Thanks for your help!
