John
i have same problem.
i have to take out one of the bolts that hold my
alternator to the block and then slip the belt over the pulley.
then i get to
push the alternator back and re attach the bolt. requires some use of old
Saxon words and scotch

Subject: [TR] TR3A alternator belt again
I could not get the
belt suggested by my last inquiry at my friendly local
auto parts store. So I
ordered the best belt offered by Moss (Flennor
20x0900LI) to replace the
failed belt on my alternator equipped 1960 TR3A. It
does not come close in
length, even when prying it as suggested in their
instructions. It was
probably intended for the much narrower generator. I
forgot that difference
in width would limit the amount it could be adjusted.
Duh
Does anyone have
any other suggestions for a pulley belt that will fit a TR3A
with an
alternator?
Thanks
John
