As above, planning on using the alternator as an idler on the supercharger drive, but realy need the belt to run the other side of the pulley, hence it will run backwards.

The rectification sorts it out. Same rules apply for (for instance) home audio gear. |

i thought alternators had a diode in em so if it was put on in reverse you would get no charge and the battery light would stay illuminated on the dash ? iam tired just finished nightshift so if this sounds like bollox then i appologise

Don't forget to reverse the fan 
How do you do that? If you just turn it around it'll still blow in the same direction, just not as efficiently. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

Rob, did you go to the Tom Fenton school of Tact? Thanks for the help guys. Would it be right to assume that the Nippon Denso alternators would also work in reverse?
