Zetec mk4 escort

Hi all fitted 2.0 zetec into my mk4 I'm using escort cvh alternator bracket and alternator.. but it's to close to water pump out. What have people used and radiator pipes have people used. Thanks for help.

Think most people just use the shortest belt they could get away with to "pull" the alternator back a bit. Good engine mounts are paramount also, as the engine will quickly rock that blade into the hose!

Thanks for reply but problem is alternator to close and high up that the water pump pipe hits it. I think it needs bracket Lowered Down but no one mentions this on guides. So just seeing what others have done.

You either want to make a plate to lower the Escort alternator bracket further down, or maybe use a FRST alternator and bracket where the alternator hangs down.
