Fitted spacer and now miss alternator. However had to remove it till I get a longer accelerator cable. Away rest of week chil 8) lin, so won't get done till next week.
Rickvw.... spacer cost a tenner.
Just having a 1/2 inch spacer made to solve same problem. will pick up next week and report back. That said I was told (haven't checked) the spacer off an old mini manifold looks about right. Don't forget you would need longer threads on carb.
Prep: rubbed with 400 wet.
When hard I just burnished and polished. The bus is an everyday ride so is not pristine (far from it), but my point is the hard hat spray does stick to the plastic roof.
Got sorted out by Speedy Jim on VZI.

I am about to fit a digital voltage regulator in conjunction with my split charge diode.
Question. Is the 55amp alternator with external regulator positive or negative rotor field control?
Ok. Not standard, but I used Hi-Tack Flashing Strip

Cant hear engine at all at lights (has it stalled paranoia!)
Anyone fitted one? Can I mount a Sterling split charge diode in the engine compartment, or as it is finned and not to exceed 40C, should it go under the van? Any feedback much appreciated.
