Well, I talked to the repair guy at Corbin today. He said that the latest batch of belts they got from the manufacturer are about 100/1000s longer, hence the shims. I asked him about your overly tight belt, and he said a newer belt might be enough longer to help. -- Michael Shipway [EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington Grove, MD 20880
