Andrew,
It's been a while since I bought a fanbelt for a Bosch - the Dayco listing
is correct and it will fit the standard pulleys.

Terry

Thanks Terry
Yep the Lucas is internal reg. And it is now working at times and not at
others!! (give it a rev and it appears to kick in!!) Looks like I will be
bolting on a Bosch as you suggested :)
You mentioned previously requiring a different belt for the bosch as the
lucas has a V groove - what about the other pulleys as they are V grooved
also?? Is the 'bosch belt' ok for use with them too?
Thanks Andrew
