hardyferret Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 Thanks Clive, I think the last on might be it, as the first is too short 2nd too long. I approximate about 42/42" possibly. Regards HF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Jerry you asked for Series 2a/3 lightweight & what I gave you was from the IPC for S3 LtWt which gives the fan belt as 535688 for FFR & GS. But yours is 2a? Looking in the IPC for that the fan belts are 535688 is for FFR but the GS it is 554389. Note the water pump (& not just the pulley) is different for FFR & GS. When it comes to the alternator belts they are same for GS & FFR: Belt, V Endless, Matched Set, 40 degrees, 41in long. 554389 I have a pair of NOS 554389 even tied together with the official label for a matched pair :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardyferret Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Clive, here's the problem.. It is a Rover 1 GS so would originally had a dynamo. In the interests of having a battery that is actually charged have gone for a Lucas alternator, 16 ACR i think. This alternator came off a series 3 GS, and has twin belt pulley,as does the water pump and crank pulley. When I got the Rover in had a tastefully fitted alternator of unknown make(Jap??) with the normal misaligned bodge bracket!! And using just one belt! So what set do you reckon? The 554389 at 41" sound right I think, and are near to what I reckoned :-D Regards HF :? :? :? only Solihull come have this many choices !!

fv1609 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Jerry, I would set the alternator to mid position. then thread some "clothes line rope" around the pulleys & mark off the rope & measure it. Obviously if you measured how long is piece of string it would be too low as the narrow string would dig into the pulley grooves & not sit where a V belt would. See how the rope measurement tallies with the known available sizes or go to a commercial belt co & see what is off the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 You could try asking one of the big three Landie parts suppliers as they all do sets of belts for the differing models??? :-) :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
