V belt question

Post by Steve P »

Vehicle is 1980 2 litre Aircooled.

Just been to buy a couple of v belts from GSF and don't know whether they have sold me the right ones.

On checking when I got back the V belt on our T25 at the moment is smooth and frayed (thus why replacing). The ones that GSF have sold me have teeth. They assured me that they were right.

Please could someone tell me if I've got the right ones? Steve has asked me to check on here because he is still in the process of putting the engine back in my parent's Bay.

Thanks guys

V belts

Dont worry about the "teeth", they are never designed to engage in any type of gear or cog, just different manufacturers designs I think.
NB, if using tights, remove the person first.

The teeth are there to make the belt more flexible to go around small diameter pulleys.
