MG TD TF 1500 - Fan Belt TF-1500

I use a NAPA 25-22392 fan belt on my TF-1500 based on recommendations on this forum. The belt rides on the sides of the pulleys; not on the bottom of the V. Is this correct?

Notched Belt
Outside Circumference = 39.77 inches (1010mm)
Top Width = 0.594 inches (15mm)
"Designed For Heavy-Duty Truck, Bus & Off-Road Equipment Applications."

I've never had a problem with the belt. The engine builder will probably install and start my "new" engine in a couple of weeks, so I'm running fast to get everything ready.

Thanks,

That is the same belt I use and yes it does not run at the bottom of the Vee.

That looks like the belt David DuBois always said to use. Can't look it up now, have to take daughter's car in for 4th airbag recall..George

The one I use and it rides about half way up in the pulley. I have about 1 inch play in the belt. PJ

The Late Dace DuBois wrote an article on keeping the belt loose.

Great advice.

The belts that I have been supplying are 17x940mm and the adjuster is exactly in the middle.
