Hey all, I put new belts on my Westie recently and was just wondering what the rule of thumb should be for how tight the belts are. Bently mentions a certain deflection but should it be hard to get that deflection or not? In general should the belts be pretty tight or just as tight as they need to be? Scott Semyan '85 Westie |
