Alternator / PS bracket problem
I know I saw this posted by someone else but ive tried and tried to find it through the search to no avail. So anyways, Ive run into this problem in picture #1...
Sorry for the blurry pic, but I think it provides adequate details. The alternator isnt lining up with the bracket properly, and the Alt fan is hitting the bracket. Ive tried different lower brackets for the alternator and tried shims for the PS bracket to move it to a different angle, but nothing has worked. Ive thought about taking the fan off and notching the the blades so that the bracket fits behind the blades. Or, I was wondering if there were Shims to place behind the alt fan so that its out further to give room for the bracket to sit behind the blades of the fan. Any of you guys have an idea on how to adjust the alt or PS bracket to align the hole for the alternator. and for the second picture the Cooling fan is hitting the PS pump so I was thinking do they make a smaller fan than a 18" that im currently using. unfortunately I cant use a spacer for the fan because as of right now the engine is on the wrong mount positions (V8 instead of the V6) it should be. When my truck is fully assembled the cooling fan sits about 1 inch from the radiator. I know I have to move it at some point but I was wondering for now is it possible to AGAIN notch the fans so that they would miss the PS pump. or would that reduce the effectiveness of the fan blades too badly? I want to have the engine moved to the proper mount locations but I cant afford to do it at this time.
