Re: V-belt for 1947 356

Hello All, just a brief update. I had concerns about my water pump and decided to replace it before reinstalling the re-cored radiator. The hub/pulley fit was not the concern. The concerns were the impeller had a brazed repair, and it did not feel "right" when I turned the pulley. Better to do it now than some other time, which in all likelihood would be at the worst possible time and in the worst possible place (apologies to Murphy). I ordered a rebuilt unit from Max Merritt. It arrived, and it is on the car. While installing John Ulrich's v-belt I noticed that it DOES have markings. Here are photos of them. This, after I was certain that the belt did not have them. Often mistaken but never confused. I'll take my beating now.
