1.4 SPI alternator needed for Mr. Chimp

Just had a text from tommychimp, he's up in Scotland and needs an alternator for his car ASAP.

If anyone's got one, could they reply or PM me and I'll send you his number?

Cheers.

Cheers for this jack,

Long story behind this.

The alternator was mounted a couple of mm to the right so therefore the pulleys didn't line up. 300 miles later in pasing Carlisle and there was a clunk clunk ping thwack noise, left the belt on the M6 managed to get to glasgow and drive to halfords, me and my mate had a snoop behind the alternator to see if it could be moved any. I thought i needed a small block alti hence the request and i wasn't going to buy a recon unit from halfrauds! Then we noticed the tensioner had a silly spacer for some reason. promtly removed it and hey presto! when we tightened it up the alti moved the required 5 mm

Thanks for your help though jack next time i see you!
