Hey Mike,
thanks for the tips,
Great job on the tensioner,
Id kill for a lathe sometimes!
looks like Im back to fabricating one.
I would probably reconsider a 50A alt on an injected car,
youd be surprised what they require and dont like low voltage,
and at any one time in a cobra could have running,
thermofan 10-15a
heater/blower 10a
head/taillights 15-20a
So you could peg 40a or so without including the engine electrics at night.
you probably have the best chance of repairing a bosch alt anywhere-anytime also which is attractive,
I think my commodore one is a 70a and are cheap and easy to come by.its the one that has 2 bottom mounts and the same top eyelet as the one pictured.
with the 2 bottom mounts its easier to make the mounting very rigid,needed with gilmer belts the vibrations will find every weak point if any!

just my .02
Peter..
