I am trapped with one car in Florida (with my Les Andrews Red Book) and one in Georgia. I think that my question would be answered with the book. I am working on the one in Georgia and need to buy a fan belt. Can anyone tell me the size and if I can just get this at an auto parts store?

Wow, amazingly fast response. I am just now leaving to NAPA to get the belt. Thanks Mitch.Comment

If you have an alternator, get the belt with the internal "teeth" that let it curve around the small pulley better.Comment

Thanks to you both. I have the original generator not an alternator. When I pulled the car out of the barn in TN it did not have a fan belt. I found that not one of the three close auto parts stores had one in stock so I ordered the Gates belt and will have it this afternoon. Thanks again. Also just pulled down a copy of the electrical diagram posted on the technical pages so I can sound out everything before starting up. Great to have that info on the site so I don't have to ask a question to determine. When all your reference books are in one state and you are in another, you realize how much you depended on them!Comment

This past winter I was lazy and went over to napa and we matched up a belt worked ok on my generator now I just mounted the alt. and you really are better off with the correct belt.06-27-2021, 11:44 AM -
I was detailing the engine compartment on a 29 Tudor that I have been restoring for a friend and I noticed that the fan belt was touching the lower radiator hose. I thought at first that the belt might be incorrect or old and stretched out. So I grabbed a new one off the shelf and it seems to be the same length (both belts have a "G 07" mark) . Can I buy a shorter belt somewhere?You do not have permission to view this gallery.

I'm running an alternator with a 2" pulley. What is the recomended fan belt?03-18-2021, 08:17 AM -
I have been working on my 29 pickup and ordered parts from SNJparts.
The fan belt was to long and I had to build a bracket that raised the generator above the lower radiator hose and tube.
I have 5 other antique cars and find dedicated part stores sell parts that do not fit and they know it but they continue to sell them.
If I purchase parts from a local store I can always return...07-25-2021, 05:26 PM -
Anybody run a fan belt that is not wrapped or a cogged belt. Mine developed a squeak that wasn't consistent with valve train noise nor crankshaft or rods.I have all three fan pulley, crankshaft, and alternator new with about 1500 miles on them. They look new. I never have had luck with the wrapped belts. Any suggestions?...08-06-2017, 01:20 AM -
I am trying to find a fan belt that will fit my 29 phaeton engine I am restoring. I have a couple fan belts that are 43 1/2" measured on the outside. They are too short to install. Maybe if I took the powerhouse generator pulley of they would fit, but I would rather not have to do that. I think I need a 44" fan belt. It appears that parts suppliers only sell 43" belts. I checked...01-31-2021, 10:40 PM -
I saw this on Ebay and I assume it is a reproduction or NORS??
