That's what I figured (actually, I tried to convince myself of that
because I'd already gotten the belt on an tensioned). But, checking
into it, it seems there are a lot of alternative that may, or may
not, be better than original. What to do (I don't like the OEM-type
belts; I suspect there's a reason autos went to thinner belts over
the years).<br>

<div> It was suggested to me that the cogged belt is <i>designed

This makes some sense, any industrial engineers know the
'theory' on this.<br>
<br>
One thing is for sure, the cogged belt "don't <i>look</i>
'right,'" at least not compared to original.<br>

<p>Gates belts has a belt for industrial equipment
(non automotive) that is an excellent copy of the
original. Unfortunately I don't remember the part
number.. (gets worse with age). I found it
googling their web pages.. B1 kinda rings a bell..
happy hunting. DP <br>

<div> I finally got around to fixing
my loose water pump pulley and
installing a new fan belt. I ordered
a 'cogged' belt from Moss--part#
021-966--thinking it might work
better than the original slab of
rubber. I noticed before installing
that it was narrower than the
original type that I'd had, which
had rotted, but it looked like it
would work. Once I started
tensioning it however, it was clear
it <i>might </i>work, but sat too
low in the pulleys, and was
essentially riding on the bottom of
the pulley grooves instead of on the
sides (and the angle of the sides of
the belt was incorrect). Anyone else
tried one of these?<br>
<br>
I'm shocked, SHOCKED I TELL YA',
that a vendor would sell something
that could possibly work, but isn't
truly correct.<br>
