ive mounted my alternator on the outside of my engine on my starlet turbo conversion, ive seen this done a few times. but its stopped working after a short while.
no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

Don't forget the fan guys, if the alt was ment to spin say for instance clockwise and you run it anty-clcokwise it will over heat. Unless you turn the fan trough 180 deg.

Or if you turn the fan round will the blades be angled in exactly the same direction.....? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel
