[Healeys] 100 fanbelts

[mike brooks]

The fanbelt for a 100 should be 3/4" wide and 1/2" deep in a V shape. 3/4" wide (19mm) is not a currently standard metric size. I've just bought a replacement  belt from one of the usual UK suppliers. It's 22mm wide and doesn't sit in the pulleys properly. I then went to another supplier who claims to be selling the correct width belt. It turned out to be exactly the same 22mm size. I've researched this, and these belts are standard modern metric size "C". The belt that came off my 100 ( it had been there for at least 20 years and 12000 miles) was a B1130 B43 belt, 17mm wide. It sat slightly low in the pulley grooves, but was much more flexible than the 22mm belts and was altogether a better fit.
What are others using for their 100 fan belts? Note I don't want to convert to narrow belts and pulleys.
