email sent, Herrum!

the alternator biz - I took some measurements and it looks like i should have plenty of space for the alt. The engine is goin into a mk2 with a mk3 cross member; everyone who complained bout clearance have the engine in a corrado (maybe they mounted the alt slightly different)... we'll see, I'll have a closer look at this in a week or so.
coolant flange - i have a stock one (9a) on my mock up and totally can't see how it could work!!!

cheers!
