Parts trouble

I know it has been a while since I blogged any thing . Been working hard on the trike and not taking to many pictures. I would like to rant a little about the { guess your part } parts store's. I try my best to stay away from these store's if I can but last weekend was a have to case. Was working on the trike last Saturday and noticed my fan belt had a bad crack on it and was needing replaced. It was getting late and my VW guy had already went home for the day. I ride down and tell them I need a belt for a 73 super beetle. I also tell them it will have to be shorter than stock cause of the aftermarket power crank pulley. They give me a stock belt and it fits over the whole set up with the old belt still on there. So I return it and they said they have a smaller one for a different size crank. So I try it still to long by a 1/2 in". So I take the old belt with me { which I should of done the first time } and tell them to match it up with a belt and then we finely get something to fit. It's always this way when dealing with these type of store's . I got you a # for the belt so if any of you guys need a belt with the pulley set up I have.                                                                                                                                            
The belt I used !
