Extended Alternator Bracket
Designed for the Rover V8, this bracket PBA 0300/E moves the alternator further away from the engine block compared to our existing bracket.

More room is available around the rear mounting bolt, which in some cases could foul the cylinder head as well as providing a larger range of adjustment.

The centre of the alternator pulley sits 50-mm higher than the centre of the crankshaft pulley.

Two of the black countersunk retaining screws need to be relieved to clear the tapped holes used to secure the Chevrolet valve covers. Tighten the plate down and use a felt tip or scriber to mark the screw (2): I use a Dremel or a file to cut the…
