Hi
I own a 1952 LR S1 80" 2L petrol currently stored and off the road. I'm looking to get it back running again but want to make some changes to make it better suited to regular use. One of these is fitting an alternator. Now the current installation uses a very wide belt to drive the fan/water pump and dynamo. Does anyone know of a supplier of a pulley that will fit a Lucas 25ACR alternator to take this belt width? Also does anyone make a bracket to mount such an alternator on this engine block?
Also I am going to install a larger than standard battery - problem is I'm not able to get to the vehicle at the mo to measure the space in the battery tray. I seem to remember I did put a 90Ah battery in there 20 some odd years ago and it fitted behind the headlight shell OK but I could do with a battery now for another job at home that can then end up on the S1 but don't want to buy one that won't fit - could someone stick their head under the bonnet of their 80" and see what length/width/height of battery I could get away with please!
Many thanks
Jay
