Has anyone used a FHP (Fractional HorsePower) belt. If so what was your experience. If not what stopped you.

Gurus of 1200 knowledge engage!

I'm using a couple, one to run my drill press another to run my furnace fan and perhaps a few more.

Just where were you thinking of using one on a Wing?

Was thinking of using it in my plans for the alternator conversion to save a little space. Am I setting myself up for the evening news??

just use a serp belt and pulleys in the conversion, easy to find a replacement when u would need one

even now alot of auto parts stores carry a small supply of v-belts and it will only get slimmer in the future,most vehicle now are strictly serp

has anybody EVER had to replace a belt? dont ever remember reading apost where soembody needed a replacement on the road much less had an alternator failure yet

speak up guys!

Fractional belt are used for applications that the name implies...fractional horse power.ie: 1/4 hp,1/2hp etc.

"A type of V-belt that can be used for light-duty applications, such as those that transmit less than 1 hp. "

An alternator will use much more than one hp.
