[Healeys] BN2 Fan Belt

[Bob Spidell]

It was suggested to me that the cogged belt is /designed /to grab the 
bottom of the pulley, instead of the sides. This makes some sense, any 
industrial engineers know the 'theory' on this.

One thing is for sure, the cogged belt "don't /look/ 'right,'" at least 
not compared to original.
