Mark LaFountain's Mechman 270amp Alt Install

[Mark LaFountain 1,054]

Mechman was kind enough to custom machine a case including powder coating (Mechman Orange) and build me this alternator since it's a rare request for a hyundai santa fe. They had it built from scratch and shipped inside of two weeks!

Anyways, a good friend of mine is a certified master mechanic and has some time on the weekend, so he is going to install this for me. It's in a really tough spot IMO, bottom front corner of the engine bay, and believe me, it's stuffed in there.

On to the Pictures!

Ironic though that Mechman would not build an alternator for my Hyundai 6 months ago. Looks like it is all about who you know, or are

Thats a not how it is at all. As time goes by all companies come across cars they have nothing for, but eventually do have something. Who you are really doesn't have anything to do with it. It may be weeks months or a year but eventually you will have something available for your car.

Mark loosen all the belts from the top first then just jack the car up and get at her from the bottom!!!!!
