<VV> Warning system for alternator / fan belt

[FrankCB at aol.com]

Why not just install a readily-available voltmeter on the dash to indicate  
when the charging voltage drops from the normal 13.8 to 14.2 ???  I  had 
one warn me that my fan belt was slipping and I simply pulled over  to tighten 
it up.
Some Corvairs already come with a CHT (cylinder head temp) gauge that  
quickly shows loss of cooling to the engine.

I'd  think something more direct would be more appropriate, without  
actually
rubbing on the belt, like a fail-safe buzzer/light when the  alternator
output drops  ?
