Ford Transit 1998 Alternator Stolen

Postby Scrambler » Sun May 21, 2017 6:09 am

Hi there I bought a fixer upper camper van with a blown engine but unfortunately some little rat bag has stolen the alternator :roll:

I've finally managed to track one down (bosch) ive got a couple hoses I need for the vac pump but trying to figure out where they go. Here a picture with the outlets/inlets in question circled. Now one must go up to the brake booster? I'm guessing thats the threaded fitting but un sure. Why is this fitting threaded? Also the other one goes to the fitting on the engine just under where the alternator mounts?

Think its an oil feed and return hence the threads

Thanks Bandit that would be an amazingly huge help!!!

I did run it up when the wreckers gave me the wrong alternator but the oils just pisses out of everywhere so i'd like to avoid that again if possible
