ok update!! revised my alt mount 4 times!!!
wasn't happy with the fit each time!
here are some pics... with the right size belt this will be quite neat.
needs some smoothing over but yeah!!
i'm happy! the tensioner bit is the hardest!
picture it in the bay with the motor tilted!! will look good and will alow the rad hose to fit perfectly!
this was based on the toyota design but i made it lower still so you don't have to flip the water pump inlet around.
