Saw a DOHC Diamante in the yard and grabbed the altenator off it...I thought it was the 110 Amp unit, but after looking it up I think its only 90 Amps as the Diamante didnt upgrade to 110A ontill 98 or so..this one was out of a 95...You can see the size difference side by side. Diamante on the left Montero on the right. The pulley on the diamante unit is the same diameter but has one more V groove. I had to get a longer belt to fit over the pulley since the bigger alt sits up a little higher.



I cut the rear ear off the Diamante alt..and used the steel sleeve in the cut off portion as a stand-off to get the alternator aligned with the engine pulleys. Also drilled a second hole in the front ear to get the alt to mount lower in the bracket. I'm not really satisfied by this mount and I have thought of a better way to do it with retaining the rear ear. I have a few hundred miles on this set-up so far and it seems to work well though..It was more of an experiment. I'll re-do it once I find a 110A unit.
