[TR] TR4 Fan Belt Replacement

[January Williams]

 Exactly what I did, except I used zip-ties to fasten the spare belt to the
"cross tube", not the steering rack, some years ago now, but the idea posted
on this list back then.

The trick is to work the spare fan belt past the steering rack/fan extension
gap at  your leisure by whatever means you may choos. Then you secure it to
the steering rack with strong cable ties and there it sits until you need
it. I have seen people even wrap the belt up with plastic.
FWIW I have found these wide belts give a lot of warning before their demise
like clicking noises and visible cracks particularly on the inside.

Of course YMMV,
