Hi Guys,

Does the early A12 alternator mount (the one that mounts the alternator toward on the bottom of the engine) bolt up to an A15 block?

Cheers

Is there a reason why you want the alternator down in that location on an A15?
I think from memory youll have to modify the mounting bracket to make it fit on an A15, a friend of mine had started to do that a few years ago.
You can easily move the factory a-series alternator loom/harness from one side of the motor to the other, I did that when wiring up an a15 in a 1200 sedan, unwrapped the insulation tape and moved the alternator wiring over to the drivers side, then wrapped up loom with new insulation tape

I need to move it because I am mounting a supercharger on the other side where the alternator previously was.

It looks like the original a12 mounting position would be about the best alternative.

I can make up a custom bracket if I need to, but I find it is easier to start with something to copy or use something original

Ok sweet, go for the A12 bracket and make it work haha

IIRC, you'll need to make a custom alternator mounting bracket. I'm pretty sure the A12 one wont work on the A15 block.
