Hi, and I appreciate anyone that might stumble across this in good timing. I am mid-swap of a 7AFE (pulled from a 94 Celica) into my trusty 95 'Rolla. The 7A donor motor did not include the top alternator bracket and I was operating under the assumption that the bracket from my 4A would transfer over and line up just the same, but this is not the case - the two 12mm bolts into the timing cover do not line up (for one), and the alternator is hanging about an inch too low to thread the bottom alternator bolt into the bottom curved bracket. Everything is about an inch off. After exchanging pictures with a 7A Corolla owner, I'm pretty sure that I need the top bracket from a 1.8 Corolla.
My problem is, I live in a relatively rural area currently, and salvage yards are few and far between. I haven't had any luck at all with sourcing one. I can't find anything on ebay or online, other than $130 for a brand new part.
By any stroke of luck, does anyone have a 7A top alternator bracket available?
