Looks like its getting there mr Rids. Its sitting fine but can't help feeling it wants to come to the passenger side some more.

it fits and is clear everywhere, i think i'll live with its position for now. it does look tight on the inner wing but it looks tight around the cv joint on the other side. i dont know what the weight balance is like but i dont think a few mm would alter things much. has anybody any suggestions for jockey pulley on waterpump/alternator belt? i want to keep it small

theres a bloke that runs with a smaller belt and no tensioner over on the micra forum

the micra forum crashes my internet connection every time i go on! the pic shows the belt just running the waterpump, i want it to run the alternator as well as big chiefs

[l_jonez]

cant you just have 2 belts ?

i think its gonna be easier mounting alternator at the rear as apposed to the front.

More the guide pulley i was thinking, and the one belt set up

finalised subframe and fitted to car today hung all suspension and hubs back on and fitted some new hi los whilst i had it apart
does anyone else think of micky mouse when they look at this?

with a little mod it'll fit

sorted alternator drive over weekend used a vw pulley, part number 06b109244 of a audi tt i think.

Well done mate. Athough does it not fit on the front keeping it a bit tidier?

[rids]

it would stick through the grill and the inner wing would have to be cut away to mount it at front
