Broke it again LOL

Driving in Ponty last night I ran over something, and then the steering went heavy so I pulled over expecting a flat tire. No flats, so I checked under the bonnet and the alternator/power steering belt was slightly loose but still spinning, so I decided to try and get home. 1/2 a mile up the road the temp started rising so I quickly pulled over and turned it off but it still boiled over a tiny bit.

Anyway, after removing the headlight with some mole grips to get a better look, the bottom braket on the alternator has fallen off lol. Gona make one I think with a threaded ajuster on, as the acutual ajusting idler wheel on mine has a rounded allen key hole in the middle so I cant ajust it lol.

See ya

why would tha bracket being broken make it boil over tho??

Because the alternator swung towards the block, so the belt went loose and it also drives the waterpump and PAS pump, so they both stopped aswell.
