I think everyone who's fitted a pinto runs into this issue. I have made a new bracket out of 5mm steel to raise it higher.

I got a nissan micra alternator off ebay and made my own bracket. The standard alternator is just too damn big!

We got an alternator off a daihatsu 3 cylinder thing - about the smallest one we could find...
