[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8472232, member: 661255"] [quote name='Massive spl']Yep washers to fill the gap and relocate that box/wires if its in the way.

Can't you either put them in front or back to make up the room without changing the position of the alt pully?[/QUOTE] Filling the gap with washers won't fix the issue. The case hits the bracket and forces the alternator backwards 1/4 inch. The pulleys are already at the end pf their threads. I can't shim them forwards any more than they already are.
