Thread: Removing alternator housing

I was charged 650. He is doing my alternator, the large bracket the coil packs sit on and bolts to the pass side dogbone, the same bracket that sits on the drivers side that the dogbone bolts to, Both brackets that the front of the dogbones mount to(including sanding down the raised rivet looking welds), Bolts and nuts for all the above including the nuts on my strut towers, Bracket that holds the speed cable (I believe), and another bracket that holds the throttle cable behind the SC, and finally the big black bar that braces the alternator.

Man, that engine bay is going to shine for sure. YOU MUST POST PICTURES!!!

Oh, and this:

(including sanding down the raised rivet looking welds)

Those are on the upper motor mount brackets. The little bumps, are what holds the two folded half's together. They are folded, with the rubber mount inserted in it, and to keep it together, its more or less pop riveted together.

Sanding/grinding off the tops looks hella good, and is a nice attention to detail, but you have to keep the motor mount together, and from wanting to separate, so hopefully he had the sides of the motor mount seam welded. Thats a must. If you remove the head...the mount can and probably will come apart on you. Just a heads up.

Thats how I modify them, when I remove the nubs.

Thanks, Good to know. And I will post lots of pics. My build list is huge this spring. I am trying to get the car to a point where I can compete in bigger shows.
