I know Andy -R has done this anyone else? Any one got pics of Andys engine pulley set up?

If any one else has got one - How have you done the water pump pulley set up and what alternator did you use?

And lets see pics of the set up please

Speak to Retro Ford and they will sort out your cambelt pulley so the pump turns the correct way.

Faye ,im doing a n/a blacktop into a mk3 justnow.

Used the powersteering pump bracket and had my mate weld a tensioner on to it so it spins the belt the right way, cheap and should work fine.

Got a sierra 1.8 alternator that was on my old zvh turbo engine, made a bracket that drops it about 15mm and spaces it away from the block by 10mm. Still a bit tight with the waterpump but there is clearance.

Alex threw all the power steering bracket ect away thinking we did not need it

Must admit its not the best looking thing in the world but does the job.

So what are the main problems installing a blacktop into a ERST compared to fitting the silvertop ?

Thanks.

i got one in my mk3 and i used cvh altinator bracket and altinator with different pully and the original focus belt tensioner so it tightens the belt its self! works like it was fitted factory

Did the Alternator bracket clear the water pump ok?

When you say the original focus belt tensioner ? Do you mean the power steering bracket set up to run the pulley? Have you got pics please? Im not worried about a tensioner to tighten the belt Just need to get the water pump to run in the correct direction

Retro ford can't help as the mod they do would get in the way of the engine mount

The waterpump.
