Hi everyone,
I was just checking over the FWF kit directions yesterday to make sure I did everything. I found this bit: "Make the FF-714 alternator support strut shown on the alternator installation drawing. Adjust the hole spacing to fit your installation. The strut requires a slight joggle. Use a big bench vise and a big hammer..."
So I don't have the Van's alternator nor the alternator drawing, as I have a B&C 40 amp. I would assume this the same thing as the "tensioning arm" referred to elsewhere in the instructions, but it talks about "hole spacing" so I'm not so sure. The tensioning arm I'm thinking of has a big long slot and you put the metric bolt through it into the alternator. This thing:
