27-10-12, 13:33 GMT+10#67 Fitted the alternator kit today, no instructions and a blurry picture made it interesting (typical usa kits) but worked it out soon enough
Must be a bit of moisture in the shed because the ARP Balancer bolt looks a bit manky yet its brand new, socket must have scraped a bit of the paint off during install
