Technical Alternator fitment

[Huwbishop]

Hi all,
I have a 1242 8v engine from a punto automatic. I have aquired an alternator from a 2003 seicento, however the bracket seems to be different.
Does anyone have a bracket I can purchase from them? Which bracket fits this alternator? Is it the case that the punto and cinq-sei are different?.

Cheers, Huw

They are different. ePer might offer a suitable bracket.

Just checked ePer, no joy they list the bracket but no stock. The alternator on there shows it has an external fan, mine is internal. Looks like a cut and shut job is on the cards. Bwger.

Cant remenber where I put my old one off the 899, wonder if I could just swap the pulley over.

Wonder if the internals of the Punto and Sei one are the same? Swap the bodies over?

 

[Huwbishop]

The internals may be the same, however I dont have the punto one either.
Will put a wanted on classifieds see if someone has a buggered engine that they dont need the bracket.

Replied to your wanted post, I have one left over from my old 1242 engine. Is it the 2 bolt bracket that bolts to the back of the engine that your seeking?

Thanks

From my experience:

The alternators that fit Cinq/SPI Seicento have external fan and have B+ stud/D+ spade connector.

MPI Seicento's have internal fan with B+ stud/D+ stud connections and has different casings. Also has a 4 rib 58mm pulley.

Sounds like its a mpi sei one then.
Ye todger it is the aluminium bracket with the four holes that bolts to the back of the block. If yours is off a 1242 also, could you measure the distance between the two mounting holes?. Cheers. Would hate to be in same boat again , although it would give me a spare when I bwger up modifing it.

the engine you have has a pas pulley on it, you need an alternator off a mk1 punto with pas.
