I purchased the Trailgear alternator bracket
TG120120-1-KIT
And a 140amp alternator from summit racing
​​​​and PWM-47294
however when i install it the alternator sits too far forward. I'm did sone research before hand and it appears people use the sane alt and bracket no problem, bracket issue? Or parts/install issue?


Belt rubbing (I had to force the tensioner arm to the side too because it doesnt line up)


Bottom alternator mount, hard to see but i cant move alternator back without modifications to alt or bracket.

 

Usually the bracket with the slot for adjustment goes in front of the alternator bolt boss. The bolt with a washer covers the slot on the bracket and threads into the alternator.

I just looked up the TG kit and it looks like the lower bracket just goes where it goes on 4 bolts and the alternator sits between the ears. The top adjuster bracket looks to be on the wrong side of the alternator boss though.

 

I have one but no longer have the engine since I swapped to a 3.4. I wish I could just go and look for you.

You're not the only one that has issues. Maybe this old post will help. https://www.pirate4x4.com/threads/tr...ket-qs.881274/

Good luck, I hope you get it figured out.

 

Yeah I know the tensioner arm goes in front but I physically can't get it to because the bottom bracket puts the alternator too far forward, and as a result the ear on the alternator doesnt line up, if that makes sense. I'm going to remove the bottom bracket tomorrow and check for bending and compare with OEM mount.

 

Took another look today and it looks like the top and bottom brackets got slightly bent during shipping, I straightened em out and it fits.
