ok so i got sick of tightening up my alt belt over the last few months.. and the last time i did it i noticed the alt was on a bit of a angle.
so i decided to pull it out today for a look...
the issue is, the stock alt takes 2 bolts one from either side..
the falcon alt is done with just one..
the bottom bolt was about as tight as you would want it, given that its in a big ally housing, i didn't have to lever on it but some force was defently required.
i have orded a new mount (thanks jas) and will put a crush tube in it to stop the issue in the future..
i will add, i only put this alt in a few months ago! as my old one died from over tightening the bottom bolt  ironic.

It's not that bad..
Use a high tensile bolt, that should help too.

Was the bolt a tight fit in the hole at the beginning?

When I put the 110 alternator in my Sierra,
I never had to touch it again,
no adjustin was ever needed,
I used a Barina water pump, so kept the multi rib belt.

yeah the mount was drilled out.. to 10mm so the fit was near perfect.
coilers run multi rib from factory

 I'm still learning all this modern stuff
The vit may get a 110 when this one croaks.
Not a lot of room in there tho.
