There is a guy talking about it on escortrscosworth forum, don't think he's has had time to do them yet though.
I'd expressed an interest in one.

Hi
After having altenator failure after a rolling road session and then again after a track day I have been looking into ways of increasing the air flow to my altenator.

I've seen pictures of cars using longer belts and an extended adjuster bracket to allow the altenator to lay on its side more and keep it away from the exhaust.

I have puchased a second hand heat shield from a porsche 944 this will need modding slightly to fit but has a hose attachment to allow a cold air feed from the front of the engine bay.

Hope this helps Cheers Tim.

Any pics of the cover ?

That's a bloody good idea

Tim Wharton

Hi As I said I have not actually fitted the shield but think it will work
I think the Porsche Alternator must be just slightly bigger as the holes don't quite mate up but easy to adapt

I have used a shield from an Audi 100 for over 10 years after multiple alternator failures following high speed runs. It has an air duct. Ive also added heat shield material to it. No failures to date. I did replace the studs to slightly longer ones to fit.

I'm sure I saw a carbon one forsale on eBay for ages but typically once I tried to find it, it's gone!

He wants crazy money to post it lol. You could post that recorded next day and insured for under a tener. I asked him why so much and he wouldn't answer.
Just got the same one rod posted above off eBay for 9.99

I had a search for an Audi 100 alternator cover once I read Rods post but couldn't find any on eBay mate?

I'm assuming it just bolts straight on?

Rod-Tarry

It does if the long bolts that hold the alternator together are long enough. Think I used studding but not sure now.

ajamesc

Not tried it yet a lot of my bits are at work I will play about with it in the week may cover it in reflect a gold as I've some at work
