TECH: Corolla AE86 • Re: Help or advice with power steering pump and alternator bracket
This is a solution offered by SQ Engineering that mounts the alternator low on the exhaust side of the engine... Perhaps if you could use the top part of the 4AGZE "multi-bracket" and the SQ bracket for fixing the alternator to the block it might work. Tensioning would just be by using a lever and […]
TECH: Corolla AE86 • Re: Help or advice with power steering pump and alternator bracket
Ok thank you. I know the factory setup (from top to bottom) it goes power steering, A/C, alternator... the bracket I have now is only for alternator (mr2 aw11 bracket I think if I'm correct) I'm just curious if it's possible, to use alternator and only power steering. Keep the power steering at the top […]

TECH: Corolla AE86 • Re: Problems with low beam switch - And, how to reattach signal stalk properly?
Yes. The problem sounds like the ball detent isn't working properly. One of the pieces (ball or spring) probably fell out without you noticing. Works kind of like a retractable pen. Take it apart again and look carefully. Due to age, you should see the wear marks where the ball (or spring thats usually behind […]

TECH: Corolla AE86 • Re: Help or advice with power steering pump and alternator bracket
IIRC the JDM GZE bracket has all 3 are mounted on the exhaust side of the engine. No other brackets should be needed (take off all the original brackets). I assume you know that you will have to move the alternator cables to the left side in an AE86. Also, in the AE86, I believe […]

TECH: Corolla AE86 • Re: Problems with low beam switch - And, how to reattach signal stalk properly?
You were messing with this thing... ? This page from the AE86 Body Manual has a mention of installing the lever...Apparently there is a ball involved and a specific way for assembling the arm to the switch. But I have never played with one so I can't give you any advice. Cheers... jondee86Statistics: Posted by […]
