[Mgs] fan belt 56 MGA

[dave]

I did some more poking around and found some info on a forum.  Picked this up at an O’Reilly’s, installed it, and it works.

Hello Eric,

I loved that about visiting a parts store that knows its onions.  We had a great place in Barrie - even stocked BSF fasteners.   They got bought out by a 'chain' outfit.  Last time I went in for a couple of bolts they had to know what car it was for and poised over the keyboard.  I laugh at their expression when I tell them !!!!!

If you have a fan belt (that fits), take it to an auto parts store and ask for one the same size. If they want to look it up in their computer leave and go to a real auto parts store. 

If you don't have one that fits, run a cloth tape measure around the pulleys (with the generator about 1/3rd to 1/2 away from the block), note the total length and go to the auto parts store (the one that doesn't need a computer for everything) and ask for one that length.

Anyone have a part number I can get at a local parts store for the fan belt 
for 56 MGA?
