You can still use it with minimal re-wiring, lol.

Oh btw higgi, I've got an FD alt too (thx Tony!)

I have one too. Theres some kid on the forum selling these making them suited for FC's.

It's about time you picked It up hIGGI. Promises, promises. Ian picked It up last Thursday. So It'll be awhile 'til I have the Rotor Double Pulley sent to me? I want to prove/disprove the compatibility of your Pullies on the FD Alternators.

Higgi, I use an FD alternator and have been for about 2 years now, but I'm using an FC-style pulley that's machined out for the larger shaft.

Let me know, should you be Interested Mark. You have your choice of Single or Double Pulley. I consider that you live In CA, so you may be running your Air Pump.

Besides myself, hIGGI would like to machine his current FC Rotor Double Pullies to suit FD Alternators.

Besides the Harness Plug, which I provide for s4 owners, you will need a bolt/nut/washer combo that Is thinner In diameter to allow passage through both the Tension Bracket and the "ear" of the FD Alternator. Thats whats seperating you from 100amps+.

The FD Alternators shaft diameter Is .990" If my memory serves me correct.

Where did you buy your FD Alternator? I sent you a free FD Alternator Double Pulley but I didn't know you lacked a Harness Plug. I'll send you one than. Same address lol.

I don't like the Idea of your FD Alternator rolling around In the back of your car.

The write can be found In the for/sell forum.

hIGGI.

I have an FD alternator, and I was going to buy one of your dual alternator pulleys and adapt it to an FD alternator.

I believe the interest is there for selling them already adapted to an FD alternator. I'll be getting one from you either way.

Haha, It is not literally rolling around, but it is just in the back.

Silverrotor, you are the man. It's the same address.

hIGGI, It'll be well worth your time to Invest In your Rotor Pullies being compatible with FD Alternators.

He was warned repeatedly to deal with it offline and out of the 2nd gen section; instead using PMs, emails or phone calls to take care of the issue; by several of the other mods, but wouldn't. The 2nd gen section is not for bitching and complaining about a purchase issue.

Then he kept logging back in under different user names... I tried to warn him, but I think he pissed off too many people. I don't know how long he will be banned.
