I seem to have confused myself again. Can anyone help out please?
My old alternator looks as though it will fit my new 2.1 MV correctly. The new alternator is a 65 amp unit, I went for the late version since it came with a post for the main power connection.
Thing is, it doesn't fit the tensioning bracket & the pully doesn't line up.

I don't know if you can tell from this photo (ignore the random MS paint line that looks like a crack lol), but there's an extra piece of metal on the casting where the slider lines up. My old alternator doesn't have this.
Secondly, the pulley is about an inch away from the units fan. My old alternator has the pulley almost touching the fan. This means that even if it the bracket did fit, the pulley wouldn't line up. I only have the water pump to check against as the crank pulley isn't fitted yet, but it's clearly different to the old one.
Anyone know what's going on please? I did a quick Google & all the alternators seem to have this same pulley in the pictures.
