[TR] fan extension, fan belt, steering rack

["Jeremy Kinney" <kinneyjr@msn.com>]

I have been reading the messages about the 4A extension with great interest. 
  My fan belt started to disintegrate Sunday evening and I noticed the 
groove in the fan belt extension during my preparations to replace the belt. 
  I slide a piece of paper between the extension and the steering rack and 
it was a tight fit.  DOD (Dear Old Dad) suggested that the motor mounts were 
bad and needed to be replaced.

What I think I am going to do is go with the TR4 motor mounts to get the 
extra clearance without fooling with shims for starters.  They are cheaper 
than the 4A mounts as well.

Does anyone have any thoughts on using a grooved fan belt?  Moss says it is 
a "superior" replacement.  I have a stock smooth belt from TRF and that type 
lasted 90K.

Thanks,
Jeremy
'66 TR4A
