I need an alternator and matching bracket from an ABF with no Aircon. Need to be able to post to newcastle.

Isn't it the same bracket with or with out the a/c?
I'm planning to delete the a/c off a 2E motor, I think all that's required is a shorter belt and a VR6 water pump pulley. (But I've been wrong before!)

The 2E, AGG, ADY 2.0 8vs (Mk3) with no A/C use the same setup, just for reference - it's just that they're very rare down here.
A lot of the yanks call the setup ABF-specific, but it isn't.
All local ABFs had a/c, so to find the setup locally, you need to find a non-A/C Mk3 GL - I have a feeling only the early Mk3s with a 2E had the A/C option meaning your search locally is even harder!!
I have a brand new one on my 1.6 engine, which I'll consider selling for the right price. PM me if you're interested

Will they fit short block 16v's (KR specifically)? Looks like a good setup. That's what i'm after. Get the alt. away from the carbies.
They fit all the 'traditional' 1.8 and 2.0 blocks and even the late model ones with some adaption (I've got one mocked up on my Lupo engine with a bit of plate alloy underneath)
I also had to put one on my old ITB'd engine to clear the intake heatshield.

Awesome. Where can i get one? You've obviously got in contact with somewhere that has them..
If Mollins doesn't want yours, let me know and i'll buy it for the right price.
Yeah Valver is right. All 16v ABFs sold here had AC.
Its not a 8v or 16v Bracket, its an AC bracket or not with the ribbed belt setup.
The most common application for that setup down under is a 2L Transporter sold without AC, but with the ribbed alternator pulley. 1996/7 Onwards. Early vans have a v belt and metal brackets.
The alloy bracket part number is 028 903 143 AD.
There is a spring that goes with it to make the alternator tension, but you could use a bar setup for adjustment instead. I just used this same setup for a 20VT into a Mk1.
The waterpump pulley to suit this ribbed belt is 028 121 013 K.
Could you use the AC bracket and move the alternator, pivoting it forward from one of the boltholes and fixing it there to get around this problem?

They're still available at the dealers down here (but for ridiculous money!!). I just had someone buy one in Europe for me and send it down most recently. Someone imports them in Yankland, too (where I got my first one) but his are rebadged OEX alternators as I later learned

That sounds like an idea. I'll get those parts possibly S/H and clean them up myself (New pulley though..).
And i'll get a S/H alternator and get my auto elec mate in town to reco it for me. He does a top job.
I'll get the old man on the job tomorrow to track some parts down for me.
