Finding a fan belt issues
Posted: Wed Apr 15, 2020 9:45 pm
Im installing the radiator on the speedster project. It seems with my fan and other things a 27 inch belt is almost too shrot and a 28 inch fan belt is almost too long. The 27 inch will allow the fan to turn but the blades only clear the lower hose by about 1/8 inch. The 28 inch belt allows plenty of room for the fan but the belt just barely rubs on the Bosch front plate distributor housing. I really need a 27-1/2 inch belt (or close)
I have a "clipper belt lacing tool" and could cut and splice a belt using the "clipper" metal splices but Im unsure how well they would work on a automobile fan belt. I use them on my flat belt machine tools and hit miss engines ect, but have never used one a car.
Any ideas on where to find a 27-1/2 inch belt. The micro V belts would also work for me. Thanks
