3800 Alternator Bracket and Idler Pulley (Fiero Alternator)

The West Coast Fiero 3800 Alternator Bracket and Idler Pulley configuration is a meticulously designed system that aims to simplify the process of installing a 3800 alternator in a Fiero. This system was specifically engineered to eliminate the need for notching your deck lid, a modification often required to accommodate the factory 3800 alternator.

The system is composed of an aluminum alternator bracket and an idler pulley. These components work together to allow for the installation of the Fiero alternator in the location traditionally occupied by the power steering pump. This is a versatile solution, compatible with both manual (stick shift) and automatic transmissions.

The decision to use the Fiero alternator in lieu of the factory 3800 alternator was made after considering the wide variety and cost of alternator combinations available for different 3800 engine models. By opting for the Fiero alternator, users can avoid the complexity and expense associated with these various combinations.

The pulley bracket and pulley included in this system are designed to replace the 3800 alternator. One of the key benefits of this design is that it maintains the belt configuration as close to the original as possible. This is crucial for ensuring correct belt tension, which in turn promotes optimal performance and longevity of the alternator and related components. This thoughtful design consideration underscores the comprehensive approach taken in the development of the West Coast Fiero 3800 Alternator Bracket and Idler Pulley configuration. It’s a testament to the commitment to quality and user convenience that is characteristic of West Coast Fiero products.
