[Vwdiesel] Alt Bracket?

[Will Taygan]

Oh, my.  

So, I think I'll take the diesel Rabbit pulleys and use them on the
diesel Vanagon - no power steering/same alt. bracket part number.
Adding a late-vanagon 90 amp (same small mounting bolt size) and use the
turbovans adapter.

For the 91 eco I think I have to use the beefy 85 Jetta alternator
bracket because it connects to the power steering system?? - have to
confirm this.  

Looks like non-ac/non-ps diesel pulleys were the same for the
rabbit/Jetta.  But the eco has power steering, so that also makes the 85
Jetta setup a good choice as it's got the secondary ps pulleys.  (note:
a/c and non-a/c pulleys are different  (well, at least on the crank!).

**A quick question:  How is the power steering belt routed on a mid-80s
non-AC Jetta?  Do both the alt and ps belts wrap around the crank *and*
the water pump?**

note: in the eco (with a/c) the ps belt just connects to the crank
pulley.

Yep, I'm thinking the eco (a/c) alternator will bolt up to the 85 non-ac
bracket with Scott/turbovans little adapter bracket.  Keeping a 90 amp
in a non-a/c!

I still have to confirm alt-pulleys and ps-setup.

This adventure is led on by the incredibly stupid adjusting system on
the eco (pre-serpentine).  A/C doesn't work and the belts are always
squealing...

Whew!
