Because my car was overheating yesterday I put and new thermostat, water pump and cambelt on my Xr2. Plus I got this from the scrapyard which fitted on seeing as it didn't have one.

I also put my new alternator on and the bracket I got off eBay.

But when I went to go put the alternator belt on it was too small. Even though it was definitely for an Xr2 and it was pushed back as far as it could go. So I need to go tonight to get a slightly bigger belt. Does anyone know if there's more than one bracket for that engine as I'm thinking they could of sent me the wrong bracket. Plus the pipe that comes off the water pump is squashed on the alternator because I struggled a bit getting it over the alternator on to the pump. Just doesn't seem right.
