Alternating problems

Things are progresssing despite the lack of posts.

I have completed the water rail unit. Now just need to test it to check it is water tight. It ended up slightly different from the design myself & Bling came up with to make the manufacturing of it easier.

Moved on to the alternator mount. Made one up in the same style of one I had seen on the 'net. Unfortunately the one on the net did not use original Sierra engine mounts (doh!), and the two mounts were fighting for the same space. As moving the engine mount would cause bigger problems, I modified my alternator bracket to mount below the holes in the sump where the bracket bolts on, and this allowed the alternator to sit a lot tighter to the engine. As a bonus there is a threaded hole in the block which takes the adjuster bracket off the Pinto engine and the alternator was on and adjustable. The angle of the adjuster looks a bit odd but does seem to function OK.
