So as you can see there's a little gap, but I think Iv come up with a solution without having too make a pulley belt from scratch.

The pieces of aluminium which bolt too the side mount bracket (the pieces which hold the alternator on) can simply be remade with some aluminium bar and drilling a few holes.

Clive suggested swapping the FD. Pulley onto the FC ALTERNATOR but that is not possible as the centre of the pulleys is different size.

As the engine I have has FC plates, FD rotors and an FD front cover its difficult to get something to bolt straight on.

Simple solution would be to swap front covers but that would be too easy

Have you got a pic showing the bracket on the engine properly
