the hammer i can see but the shorter belt will not help me because it is going to touch i tried moving the alt. up and it still rubbed i guess the hammer is the only option thanks

well i can't remember what the fender walls look like on your car in particular, but often a shorter belt will help beause it postions the pully farther away from the wall by having it mounted a little farther forward, at least thats how it works on EF civics/rex's, but anyhow the hammer will do..
 
WHOOOOA. Stop right there.
If you have to use the hammer, you did something wrong.
Check your mounts and make sure they are the correct ones.

ok i was told to use 94+ integra motor mounts but it doesn't fit my 97 civic http://home.att.net/~eddsp/6gswap.html
this is what the mounts look like i am looking for a 99 si bracket because the mount is the same as all the driver side mounts from 96-00 and i am using the tranny mount and the rear mount from a 97 integra but the driver side is different so i think i need to get a special mount but i can't find one as right now thanks for your help
