After installing the moss alternator, (& not having any recent experience with this exercise)
i discovered three issues:
the woodruff key is loose in the alternator shaft slot ; is this normal?
the narrow belt pulley sleeve/collar may be to long, for proper alignment & or shaft nut tightening:
Should I take the aluminum pully to a machine shop( or do it myself) and have it shaved down or find a new pulley, or what ?
Additional conundrum; the pulley pushes the alternator fan to far back on the shaft, causing it to rub against the housing: is it common to shim the alternator fan? Are there shims for that purpose ?
i assumed the moss conversion kits would meld together nicely on this typical stock TR3A engine, so now I'm thinking " what am I doing wrong?"
any advice appreciated.
