VinsRJ 721 #2 Posted February 7, 2012 Where's Stevebo when you need him.... he seems to gets all hot and sweaty over these RJ35 posts. LOL! I’m at work right now so if Steve doesn’t post by the end of the day I will pull my belt guard out and post pics and dimensions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,264 #3 Posted February 7, 2012 Here I am..... Here is one that I fabricated. It is not original but I liked the polished aluminum look to match the wheel and steering shaft. And the one on my late 55 or 56 (original) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,102 #5 Posted February 7, 2012 I'm thinking you should probably make a few of 'em if you do. :eusa-think: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,264 #6 Posted February 7, 2012 It is not a perfect 90 degree as it actually goes more than that. If it is not bent correctly the variable drive pulley will rub. I should be able to get some measurements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeremi3210 708 #7 Posted February 7, 2012 Measurements would be helpfull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,264 #8 Posted February 8, 2012 3 inches wide and 16 inches total length. Not sure the thickness but should not matter too much. The "curl" on the bottom is there to hold the belt. I do not have that on my 55 but it should be there. You may have an issue with it not stopping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeremi3210 708 #10 Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks for all the pictures and help. I will post pictures after i fab my guard. One more question what are the correct belts i have a 20 and a 37. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,264 #11 Posted February 8, 2012 I think that depends on the size of your rear "big" pulley. I think they offered a 5,6 and 7 inch version... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,264 #13 Posted February 8, 2012 I think that fireman just had a post on the belt size on his 55 with the same pulley you have. He bought what the parts book called for and they did not work. He took mine off of my 55 and tried them and they worked perfect. Try researching his posts to find the info he updated not more then 2 weeks ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VinsRJ 721 #16 Posted February 19, 2012 That looks perfect! One of the great things about these early WH's is that you can repair them with everyday tools and materials. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
