MG TD TF 1500 - Which fan belt?

My fan belt is too long - 40" - NAPA 25-22392. IMHO should be shorter by abt an inch. Must be of the serrated kind - they run cooler.

Suggestions?

I use B36, don't know what serrated number is.

Who make B36?

The last three digits of the fan belt part number are the length - in your case, 39-2/8". (I have always used that 22392 belt, and it has always fit fine.)

You just need to ask for a shorter length than 39-1/4".

---BX36--- is the belt you are after-It's a 39" B section cogged belt
Belt Size: 5/8" X 39"

like this, but most industrial belt suppliers would have them-

Tom,

22392 is what I am using, but its very close to the side panel.

So I guess I will need a 22390.

Thanks all

Gord,
17x940mm which is 37". Zoom in and you can read it.
You can see the adjusting bracket is dead centre on my car.

Declan,

I can't bear to look at your engine. Its too clean!

I ended up buying a 39" belt. Don't know why, but the standard belt is 40" and comes too close to my side panel (TF).

However problem seems to be solved.

Thanks all.
