Quick update on the 6.5NA 'V-belt 13A' Mitsubishi Pajero alternator swap over to the 170a Nissan GQTD42 kindly Ebay found by @PeeBee ! A special thanks to @matfew and his after hours elecy skills and time too! Mounts all fit perfectly with only one thin washer needed below to align the pulley square. The fun began when we finally realised the new GQTD4.2 oil drain was now hitting the rocker cover. Turned out to be that the vacuum pump castings and bolts are some say 10 degrees rotationally different. Thanks to the kind help also of 'Scooter' at 'Pirtek-Wodonga' on our way through home we have customised a 45 degree M16/1.5T ('JIS -Japanese Hydraulic') new drain to clear the rocker cover finally. The next little challenge became the existing vacuum pump oil feed Banjo bolt would not fit the new M10/1.5T again ('JIS- Japanese Hydraulic') thread. 'Ultimate Fastners' next door kindly gave us a suitable bolt then the lathe and drill press at Pirtek went to work on more customisation. Good news is that they do fit with a bit of tweaking and it's only now needing a descent charge wire and fuse to gain its full potential.
Ooh, and a double special thanks to @matfew for kindly wiring up my revamped winch tonight whilst waiting too ;-)
