Alternator Belt Alignment

bkervaski

Hellloooooooo!
Testing
All,

Using the Plane Power alternator from Vans on an IO-390. My belt alignment is about 1/8 inch aft of the flywheel creating an angle and there doesn't appear to be a way to shim it into place, the bracket is non-adjustable.

Am I missing something?
 
pretty common

At the Alternator to engine mount location....Remove some material from the alternator mount bushing and shim the alternator (use washer) in the direction you need for alignment.
 
I had this problem, turned out was simply the orientation of the bracket.
Study the Plsne Power install diagram very carefully will fit without shimming.
