So i brought the kit from www.kemotorsport.com and its ment to be a bolt on kit but im having trouble with the alternator
the shaft is to short to fit the pulley
also the waterpump one is to small but think i need the other type waterpump
avalible for a15
has anyone put one of these kits on?
He said its standard A serries kit and has sold 30 without a problem
any help would be great thanks

Your engine probably has the the water pump from a c20 vanette or commercial application (forklift), swap the pump with the more common pump, and the pulley should fit without issue.

Yea i messaged the guy i brought the car from he said its out of a vanette van
plan on getting new waterpump to suit.
but the alternator is the biggest problem the shafy is to short
im new to this site so dont know how to upload pictures to show my problem

I made the DIY and put up johns info for the Gilmer drive kit from kemotorsport and helped him with it.

You need to have the normal waterpump not the vanette waterpump.

And for the alternator the shaft should not be short at all you are ment to have the flat side of the pulley against the alternator not backwards so flatside out...

If you still have an issue just change to a newer and better alternater i.e a bosh one with an internal regualtor..

It is a direct bolt on kit, only difference will be the belt sizes needed if alternator is either high mounted or low mounted, but john can sort out the belts for you for the HTD belt

Ok thanks for the reply
i plan on getting a diffrent waterpump in the weekend so that pulley should be sorted..may sound dumb but what w/pump should i ask for..
also what alternator should i look at getting to replace it?
the shaft is 35mm long has 10mm on thread
has a spacer that is 15mm so leaves me with 10mm shaft to try put the pulley on..isnt going to happen with that alternator.
Any help would be appreciated..its doing my head in..iv watched that video before it sounds nice!

pull the spacer off you dont need to run it on the alternator.. and the shaft should be long enough unless there is a keyway spacer or something else on it pull that off as well use the most of the space for the pulley it should fit no issues...

The water pump should just be the generic A series long nose water pump which means it has a smaller centre guide and gives positive offset.. at the moment you need to work out is it either a long nose water pump which is the smaller centre or the short nose water pump which is shorter and has a larger centre

I can take a picture of the differences to show you...

Or check this link and see the differences explained:

hmm just tryed the pulley with no spacer and still isnt going to work..the shaft is two diffrent sizes goes small with thread then big.
and the waterpump iv got on is a long nose im guessing by the look of those pics as its got a large pulley.. is larger than the g/pulley and also has wider bolt holes compared to the g/pulley
how do i upload pics on here i cant seem to do it

Use photo bucket to upload the pics to there then just add the hyperlink of the image easist way I found

Here is a standard 1200 alternator
Yes, the shaft is stepped, larger diameter behind the threads

^^^yup except mine doesnt have the flat spot on the shaft..but yea steps up in the shaft
So whats my options should i look at getting a diffrent alternator? ..iv never delt with alternator /water pump before so i dont know to much about them
i know they will be easy to swap over but dont know what ones to get that will suit this gilmore pulley set
