I'm sure others will tell you, but I thought that  it was a "Tiger Only" 
part. And since the earlier Tigers had a generator  and you have an 
alternator, that could make it a "tiger, MKII" only  part.
 
I've looked at a bunch of other 60's70's Ford  applications and the engine 
bays were always  much wider engine   and the alternator was mounted down 
low. That didn't seem possible in a  Tiger. So, nothing I ever saw would work. 
If someone knows of an  application that would work, I'd love to know it.

Hi  all.  I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about the  alternator/belt
adjustment bracket of the MKII Tiger.  I have the  original MKII alternator
bracket, but my flat adjustment bracket/bar that  seems to be the wrong one.
I think it's a bit short and angled wrong  because it seems to interfere 
with
the alternator fan.  Does anyone  know which part would interchange (Ford
Falcon/Mustang/Galaxie, etc.   Anyone?  Thanks in advance for the
information.
