Thought I'd start a seperate thread for this one... I've now got a nice new shiney alternator, unfortunately the fan belt has mostly had it. It is one of them emergancy adjustable ones in sections that were all the rage a few years ago, but now are as rare as hens teeth. I've managed to find one, but it's not the same type, and might not be long enough - will find out tonight. The question is, the fan belt goes on the inside of the fly wheel, and a normal belt wouldn't get over the fly wheel (not sure they even make them that long!?!). Is there a better solution, or does every old engine have this problem? Cheers, Mike -- Michael Askin http://shoestring_ DOT_zapto_ DOT_org/ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
