You can get the alt out now between the engine and subframe. We did it this way on outruns rev 2 and my rev 3. Can't see how this wouldn't work on any other tubby.
Thanks for the encouragement, I've researched all the possible alternative ways of removing the alternator and there are nearly as many different suggested ways as positions in the Karma Sutra. I now know in theory how to do it so when this heatwave dies down and I can summon up a little love for the car again I'll have a go.
