<VV> Hemmings Disses Corvair!!!!

[Tim S]

Not to start a flame war or anything but I've never
been thrilled with the fan belt arrangement on the
Corvair.  I'm sure most will agree that it is marginal
at best.  I know, if you buy this special belt and
tighten it to that special procedure, and pray to the
corvair gods, it works.  But having said that, we all
have spare belts stashed somewhere on the vehicle.  I
don't have a spare belt stashed in any of my other
vehicles.  I'm no stranger to crazy fan belts either. 
If anyone ever saw the belt arrangement on a Vixen
motorhome circa 1986 they would make the same
statement that the Hemmings guy made.  And I designed
that one!
