on a friend of a friend's CB MGB. A 'universal' 16/17/18ACR of 55 amps output
and a new belt of the same number that came off - 10900. The only way the belt
would go on was by fitting it before the mounting bolts! With the body sitting
on the engine mount there is still at least 1/2" of movement in the adjuster
that can't be used<FONT color=#000000 size=3>, and with everything installed the
adjuster has barely moved from the minimum position.</FONT></SPAN><BR

other people on the MGOC forum found the same thing, so I suspect the body on
these is fatter. One was offered alternative belts of 10925 and 10950 but not
unsurprisingly at the time stayed with the original. Maybe the 10925 would be a
better bet, I was aware of the 10950 for late RBs but felt that might be too
big.</SPAN></DIV>
