Our generator belts don't have to be very tight. They are just fine running a bit looser than most people are used to. This is basically because the 30A generator doesn't need the belt to transmit that much power. I find that I never have to readjust a belt's tension. A new belt (if it's the right size) will usually fit right in without adjusting, but some will vary. In general, adjusting the tension is a real pain, but it only has to be done rarely. If I have to do one, I use an open end wrench, held in there at an angle, and a box end wrench for the nut. > What does R&R mean? In this context it means remove and replace. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
