[TR] TR250/6 fan belts

[Ed Woods]

List,

After resolving the electrical questions regarding fitment of the Bosch
alternator to the TR250, thanks to a number of people on this List, I find
that the present fan belt is too short for the Bosch. Since the fan belt
placed the Lucas at its minimum position, almost touching the fuel line and
almost blocking access to #1 plug, I suspect that it was incorrect even for
the Lucas.

So, my question of the hour is: what's the correct fan belt of the TR250, TR6?
Does someone on the List have information that would be recognized by a FLAPS
counterman?

I would prefer not to take the existing belt off to present at the FLAPS
counter, since it involves unbolting and moving the steering rack!

And just out of curiousity, what's its width, 3/8" or 1/2"

With 38 hours till departure,

P.S. Didn't someone tell me to get 1000 miles on a car locally before a long
trip? Why am I ignoring that sage advice (again)?
