I've trawled the archive with no result. Although fitting an electric fan is covered nobody seems to have mentioned the size of belt needed if the fan on the 1850 is removed and only the alternator needs to be driven. Can someone give me an idea?

Thanks Tony. So that's 735 mm long, about what I guessed. Excellent. I have got a puller fan from a Subaru that my son is scrapping and I reckon it can be made to fit behind the Dolly's rad. What shall I do with all the extra BHP I will get if I remove the engine propellor?

I use a 750mm by 10mm belt, loads of them on Ebay and very cheap.
