Hi guys tryed searching but couldnt really find a proper answer.
Iv built a 2ltr blacktop zetec turbo and need to know what alternator bracket to use?
Iv got what iv been told is a mk2 xr2 bracket but dosnt seem to work?

You can get a plate off ebay which drops the standard bracket

if you use that plate with a erst bracket a small section of the erst bracket needs grinding away otherwise it causes the alternator to sit on the piss, difficult to see when on the car.

I tried a few ways but with couldnt get a setup that i was happy with. using the s1 roll bar.

Ended up using a zetec alternator

My standard postion was on the back of the engine,i did think about putting it back there?

That's what I have now but you have to lose the standard engine mount

Yea iv cut off the standard escort mount and its got the proper blacktop mount welded on.
So i can mount the alternator in its standard postion at the back near inlet manifold,then do i have to make up a bracket for a idler pulley?

That's what I've done.
