It is about time to move forward with installing auxiliary parts. I started with the AC-spanner rail that I sourced from IvoC. It is a bit larger then the original for some reason, but two additional washers did the trick.

Since the alternator pulley was no longer available I had the old part powder-coated.

The paint-finish of the engine-shackle got damaged during the engine installation so I had it powder-coated as well.

After tightening the 24mm nut from the alternator pulley with a power-tool, I reinstalled the alternator back onto its sub-frame on the engine. I then reconnected the ground-return lead with the M6 bolt to the alternator. However, upon tightening the bolt, I noticed it turned through, indicating a damaged thread. To solve this, I relocated this connection to the suppression capacitor-bolt for the time being, about a centimeter away.

Last but not least; the water pipe in front of the engine. I already replaced this part at the end of 2004 so there was no need to have it powder coated.

The next step is the reinstallation of the engine wiring-loom; but lack of time today prevented me to more forward with this.
