You should also consider where the wear is. If it is in the direction that the generator belt pulls, then perhaps the belt was too tight. If the wear is all around then you should also check the crank to make sure it isn't cracked and flexing more than normal. The fan hub really should not be able to come in contact with the inside of the case there. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
