1924DB Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Ordered a shop manual this weekend but today while adding new oil and water to my '24 DB coupe, I removed the old fan belt which was a real belt, a size 30 leather western belt connected with haywire. Unless I'm mistaken and the pulley was built with a "gap" in the middle, it seems that the haywire "connectors" on the belt completely wore through the fan pulley leaving nothing but the edges of the pulley. Am I correct in this assumption? Does anyone know where I can locate another pulley? <p><p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gboy Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Your pully is shot, You will need to find the fan and pully as a unit. I don't know of anyone who rebuilds them. I will check to see if I have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I installed a new battery in the coupe and found that both headlights still work. The car was backed into a west Texas barn in 1942 so there will undoubtedly be more things that will require attention before I can fire it up. I still have a cigar box full of old keys to go through to see if I have the key to the ignition. Not looking forward to that. Thanks again. I can be reached at NOSPAMrmclend@wildblue.com by removing the NOSPAM part of the address. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwollam Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 That is the best looking pulley I have ever seen! lol Yeah it is shot! As far as the key, look closely on the ign switch, it will have a number. Find the matching number on a CLUM key and you're all set.Really like your car and what you are doing with it.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Arnett Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Ron:That fan belt that you have is actually the way they used to put together universal belts and you can still buy belts that way with metal clips. I might have the fan you need and I will check the garage tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1924DB Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 Dave,Thanks for the invaluable information about the key number. I did see a number on the ignition this morning while I was going through the 500 old keys. Man, if only I had a place to keep them, I would like to have all the cars those keys came with. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sort of at a standstill now until I can locate a fan. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
