I've got a late XE with the wide bottom pulley and need some advice. I've got the new alternator bracket from an 8v nova with the slider ajustment.
Question is, do i need to use a small bottom pulley or can I use the big pulley already on the engine?
If I need to change the pulley do I need to change the alternator to suit or can I use a wide belt alternator?
Many thanks
Oliver

Narrow v belt needs to be matched to the bottom pulley and alternator

if you want to run pas, you need to use the v belt setup..
if not, the multi rib stuff works fine

Im getting rid of the pas as my car doesnt have it anyway and thats how I like it.
So I can use the wider pulley and alt and I will be fine then Ste?
