Hello Simon sorry for my slow reply. I came to the conclusion that the old belt was too long because the new belt supplied by Rimmers was much shorter and just fitted beautifully. I have not finished this job just yet but hope to do so within the next few weeks. If the old belt stretched the timing must have been out by a mile . There was always the possibility that a slack belt could jump a tooth. Stll learning about this beautiful engine.
