I'm having trouble getting the vbelt to line up properly on my TR4.  
When I got the car the lower generator mount was loose and the holes 
in the aluminum generator flanges were wallowed out.  I replaced all of 
the lower mounting pieces and also changed generators but the 
alignment problem is still there.  It appears to be off + or - about 1/8".  
The strange thing is it looks like the generator is in line with the crank 
pulley.  It seems like the water pump pulley doesn't still out far 
enough.  The mounts and generator that I put on the TR4 were pulled 
off of my TR4A where everything was in perfect alignment.  Is it 
possible that there could be differences in the water pump pulley 
mounting?  I'm not real excited about pulling the water pump but if I 
have to I will.  

Any suggestions?

TIA
