<VV> Belts - For Roger

[Ron]

I'm running three Corvairs and none of them has a wrapped belt at this time 
and all of them seem to work just fine.  It doesn't seem to make any 
difference as long as you drive them normally.
And, a long rod coupling nut is a lot cheaper than $17, by about $16, in 
fact.
