HISSEN...100mm seems like an awful lot.

Have a look in aussie mikes gallery he moved his alternator back and sideways.

I am in the process of fitting the L76 to my RMC. The RMC chassis rails are close together so the engine had to go above the chassis rails. My alternator also fouled the rails where they step up above the steering rack/front suspension.

I suspect the RMC is also a tighter fit than the RCM as the chassis is a twin rail design which limits the width available to fit an engine.

To make mine clear I moved the alternator rearwards by about 25mm.

Essentially the alternator is bolted directly to the block using the original alternator bolt holes.

I would suggest you try disposing of the alternator bracket and bolt the alternator directly to the block. If you find this is close then maybe some spacers under the engine mounts donuts to raise the engine a touch.

If you find this provides the clearance then give me a yell and I'll tell you how to modify the alternator bracket and still retain the idler pulley in it's correct location.

However, you will then need to have a new alternator pulley turned up.

Cheers
