Could someone please tell me how wide a T fan belt is? I think it's 1 1/4 inches but can't get to my car to check. Any year from the teens and twenties will do just in case the early or late ones are different. I already know the correct length. Thanks.

Dave, A lot of auto supply houses stock or can get flat belts with the small rubber groves on the under side. They are about an inch wide and last a lot longer than the vender supplied ones.
Just a thought, you purist please ignore this.

Thanks Willie. There is one being made for me right now. My Ford marked purist special belt delaminated after a very short time. If the new one has markings on it, I will try to sand them off so it looks better.
