[R27WTF]

Where can I get a clio cup car aircon delete bracket from?

Do Renault still sell them? I know pure Moro sport do but there not cheap

Many thanks

AP Motorsport have it on their site, price is about right for all that's included. I paid £300 for my racer stuff (bracket, bolts and alternator). However bolts, alternator, tensioner and belt, you can actually use what you have now (as I have done), if you can try to haggle them down and buy less parts.

Ye I know Alex I just had my alternator and bracket all painted etc and he won’t split. Most of my bits come from him

2 cheap alternatives.
1 - gut the aircon pump so you are literally just left with the pulley - I've done this and used on lots of track days now.
2 - buy a 172/182 crank pulley and use a stretch belt to the alternator, completely removing the alternator setup - I've got this to try, and others have used this setup successfully.

I did option 2 but using the standard 197 pulley. Just got a belt small enough to go between the pulley and alternator.

Yeah, I thought about that, but apparently the 1*2 pulley is quite a bit lighter, and adding in rotational mass then I would imagine there are gains to be had.

Either way, ditching the aircon is a huge benefit.

Which pulley have you used? As there’s 3 of them I’m seeing I’ve ordered the 4pk810sf belt

So have you found this reliable? Standard tensioner?

Yes its been fine. Not the standard tensioner. I did have a expanable link bar on it for the tension but it snapped so I used a thicker metal bar instead.

Do you have a link to the belt? I dont want to buy a 172 pulley as I already have a lightweight alu 197 pulley, thanks

Or just gut the air con compressor. No cost option, works fine.
