Pic request: 7m on a stand

[Tire Shredder]

Hey guys,

I need a pic of a 7m on an engine stand, from the front/intake side....would be nice if it highlighted the lower alternator bracket.

my motor did not come with a lower bracket, bolts or A/C bracket. I'd like to know if it requires the A/C bracket to bolt to the block and exactly how it attaches. a word response would be just as helpful as a picture. thanks!

This is the best I can do:

The alternator bracket is separate from the A/C bracket. You don't need the A/C bracket for the alternator.

But the Alt bracket sandwiches between the block and the AC bracket if that helps. (If you delete the AC bracket you'll need a spacer the same thickness)

Eh?

My alternator bracket sits on the front of the timing belt case IIRC.

(Its been a few months since I got to look at my 7M :cry: )

I just removed the A/C bracket and compressor thinking it wouldn't affect anything. does it?

DOH Sorry I have it arse about!!!

Block>ALT Bracket>AC Bracket

If you bolt the AC bracket on first you can't fit the Alt bracket (I knew there was something annoying about this bit)(guess who forgot this time)
