[928uk] Alternator cooling

[Brian Butterworth via 928uk]

Martin,
	I'm following Adrian's recommendation and have purchased the same ducting, it's 63mm ID and you need 2m.  I purchased off eBay, something similar to this :-

Hi Martin

I replaced the ducting with better stuff with a plasticised exterior rather than factory cloth which gets grubby and/or soggy if you have PS leak.

It pushes over alternator cowl at one end, then is held under the skid mounted to lower control arm. It is open ended in wing but attaches either side of metal tube holding external temp sensor. The open end attaches to brackets screwed into splash shield. I don't like that arrangement (puts strain on splash shield and a real faff if you have to remove shield) so I attached home made bracket to horizontal stay behind splash shield - loads of room.

Am away from home so can't check supplier I bought hose from (2m from memory) or size. I recall I bought slightly larger size than original as it then pushed all way down on cowl and was still snug. I can check details at weekend if you like. 

Cheers

Adrian
