My alternator doesn't clear the cowling in stock configuration so it'll
 have to move. Is everyone using the stock RX8 alternators for those that
 got them with the engine, or something different. What configurations and
 parts did you use for the mounting, I also assume the mazda alternator is
 the externally regulated type, as I read online its usually controlled by
 the ecu on the car.

 Here is some of what I have so far.

Copy that. Paul, any of those parts you recommended on the alternator
surgery that you suggest I start tracking down in the meanwhile, or best
for me to wait?

Alex

No rush. I think if we mount it up high enough we can do with out the
tensioner. There is no CAS on the RX8 to get in the way.

Could any one tell me where or what is the part number for a tensiometer as
seen on this second picture?
I have the alternator installed as in the first picture and I have no
fouling.
I would like to install  a tensiometer, exactly as seen on this picture to
add  a second belt to the water pump pulley for safety.
I appreciate your help.  Thanks
