1896 Carerra Pelican High Output alternator replacement fitting issue

Hi all,

I'm in the process of replacing the original alternator in my 86 Carerra with the Pelican High Output unit. Unfortunately after tightening the 6 alternator bolts to the fan shroud the fan ceased up - jammed.

I noticed that tightening the bolts also brought the alternator so far back into the shroud that the belt/pully would be obstructed by the shroud so it's almost as if the new part doesn't match my shroud properly and some kind of 'stops' need to be installed to prevent the alternator from mounting so far back into the shroud.

Does anyone have experience with this? Unfortunately Pelican is closed for weekend and I can't call them...

Thanks!
