Pulley wheels out of alignment???

[harper1980]

Could anyone please help me,
I've rebuilt my 1600 twinport and replaced with an alternater I didn't notice at the time but it's now in the van and running I noticed rubber dust in my engine bay I have now noticed that the alternater pulley is about 1cm further out than the crank pulley,has anybody come across this?or has anyone got any advice Please?

You can try loosening the strap and pushing the alt in as far as it goes(without the belt). While holding it in, tighten the strap. Check for free spin of the fan afterwards. Might solve your problem.

Did you change the plate the alternator fixes to at the same time? There is a very slight difference between the dynamo and alternator plates, about 5mm from memory, but it might be 10mm??

It is 10mm difference.

Yes I did, I changed the front and back plate as ive gone from generater to alternater,is there anyway I can sort this as it's chewing my belt as it is?
