I would think Mr. Fusion. Plutonium is just so last year.........

apparently, this is the shiz:

you can walk into your local Toyota dealer there in Tucson with the old water pump and the reciept. They should replace it for you for no charge. might save you some time due to shipping? Just a thought...

Maybe youll end up with that zircon-encrusted pump?! ;)
 
My alternator bolt broke, backed out and shredded my supercharger/alternator belt on the way to work the other day. So since this was the second factory bolt to break, I drilled out the threads in the alt. bracket and put in a grade 8, 7/16 bolt with a locking nut. I don't have a clue why it keeps breaking but I shouldn't have the problem again lol.
 
Replaced my steel cable with ultrex that I spliced myself :)
Also put on the EHEO fair lead, which will eventually get anodized for prettiness

Sanded last wheel of my offload set and should have all of them painted and cleared by end of the weekend.
Is it child labor if they want to do it?

Any possibility the tensioner is too tight?
 
Any possibility the tensioner is too tight?

I don't think so. The tensioner for the supercharger is spring loaded so it's not really something that is adjustable. I have a gm144 alternator on it. So it's about twice the size of the original but the bolt ear isn't quite as long as the factory one. So it might be shearing the bolt but it is actually leaving some of the bolt in the ear which doesn't lead me to completely believe that it is, in fact, shearing off. But what is weird is that the original bolt lasted 8 or 9 months before it broke and then the second bolt only lasted about a month. I checked all off the bracket bolts and none are loose. So I'm at a loss.
 
what grade bolt is it ?
 
Post some pics of broken bolts if you get a chance

The more I look at the it, the more I think that it is just breaking in a weak spot in the bolt. Here are a few pics. Both bolts broke in the exact same spot. Maybe the alternator is slightly bouncing and the bolt just can't hold the extra weight. It's just weird that the first bolt lasted a while and the second one didn't.








what grade bolt is it ?

I reckon it is whatever the metric equivalent is to a grade 5. Both bolts that broke were from Toyota.
