3FE 90 Amp upgrade, round 2, son of a
So I have the $21.07 bracket from the dealer, this bracket is for the 90 amp alternator, and the part number is 16381-61060. As you can see from the first pictures, the bracket is slightly different from the original one used with the 80 amp alt. However, I still could not get the 90 amp alternator to fit at the lower mounting point. This mounting point is part of the DS engine mount, so is there also a different engine mount used for the 90 amp?
Has anyone successfully bolted on the 90 amp(part number 27060-61100-84) without grinding the alt. to fit? Try as I might, I couldn't find the hole and get the bolt in. In the end I just put the 18 year old cruddy 80 amp alt back in and put everything back together. I think when I try to replace the water pump, I'll give the new alt. another try, since there will be a lot more room to work in and inspect/see whats going on, and where to grind.
Anyone do the 90 amp upgrade without grinding?
