Nippon alternators & water pump
Turbo Mini Forums

Does anyone else have or had this problem. Where the alternator bolts to the water pump, this keep cracking. How can i remedy this and stop this from happening??

Whats cracking, the alternator or pump?

Whats the belt tension like, sounds like it could be trying to twist on the bracket?

water pump, right through the hole that the bolt goes through to fix to the block

Hmm seems a little odd? Maybe something like this may help?

use a long bolt and a sp[aces and use the alternator monting on the block to stabalize it.

this is exactly what i need, that is showing a small bracket from the water pump to the alterator though. is that to line it up with the alternator bracket??

Its been mounted "upside down" compared to mine and others. The lug on the bottom of that pic is offset a little more so it will bolt onto the pump, and near enough line the pulleys up. Notice there is also spacers between the second mount and block to bring that inline too.

Looks like a good way of fitting it without having to file brackets down, it will just sit a little further away from the block.

Got any pictures of the 'normal' way of mounting these matty? :)
