Hi folks,
On pg. 27.15 of Bentley it shows a 90amp  alternator setup but doesn't
indicate the
vehicle year.  On the next pg. (27.16) it shows the same pulley setup but for
a 45 and
65amp alt.  Pg. 27.17 shows a *different pulley* on a 90amp alt. "starting
October 1982"
but with no end date indicated.  Question is which pulley setup is for a 1987
Westy?
I ordered one from dealer and got back the one pictured on 27.15 and 27.16.
I am
looking for a 90amp alt. that this pulley will fit on.  [I have a kick put
alt that is putting
out 110 amps, but the pulley will not fit--I think the alt. is aftermarket
and the wrong one].
I am looking for correct alt. from Bus Depot (help, Ron) but don't want to
get the wrong
one.  Dennis, you mentioned that I needed the "two-piece" pulley once.  Did
you mean the one on 27.15 & 27.16 or the one on 27.17?
Thanks for everyone's patience (whew! I was getting confused myself trying to
get it all
out ;-) but I am trying to once and for all fix a "belt eating problem"
before I sale my van.
