We had a thread awhile back regarding TR4 fan belts, I believe it
applies to the TR4A too, that indicated that one has to jack the engine
up in order to put on a fan belt. Since this is not something easily
done especially if a belt breaks in the boonies that extra fan belt in
the trunk is going to be fairly useless. The list suggested that you
carry the extra fan belt up against the engine with it pulled over the
fan and lying BETWEEN the engine and the pulley (obviously not ON the
crank pulley where your functioning belt is) and already past the cross
member (or whatever that is that makes it so you can't squeeze the belt
into place). You're have to figure out how to wire it down or otherwise
keep it from interfering with moving parts. But when you get a broken
belt then you have one that you can untie and slip on to the pulleys
once you've loosen up the generator. The other suggestion was one of
those emergency fan belts that are available in the chain auto parts
stores.
Those of you have TR4s and TR4As that actually run chime in here if I
got any of this wrong.
