Looking at you picture, I noticed the way the dynamo is mounted. Did you consider using a smaller fan belt? Maybe this gives a better position to the dynamo for the use of a more simple tensioning bracket?

Hi Michiel. The dynamo is mounted like that to clear the bonnet as it was just fouling the inside edge of the larger scoop. All I did was rotate it so it sits under the main bracket instead of over it, then made a simple stabiliser bracket to steady the third mounting point. That approach tucks the generator out of the way and uses the standard belt for simplicity and ease of replacement, and it works just fine.

Looks like it's going to be a nice, sunny day in the East today, so a run up to the North Norfolk coast is on the cards. It's going to be nice not having to constantly monitor the temperature gauge for the first time since I finished the car. Aluminium radiators might look cool, but copper cores actually help you keep your cool
