13T - Band type identification
Posted: Tue Nov 24, 2020 10:14 pm
On another thread I was asked about the band type currently in the 13T. I didn’t install these bands, so I don’t know the type. I’ve previously found a box of Scandinavian bands in one of the parts boxes, possibly a clue. I’ve attached a pic, do they look like the Scandinavian type bands?
I read a previous thread about how to tell when you need to replace bands:

In this thread it gives more detailed guidance but suggests your pedal should stop about an inch from the floorboards is a good rule of thumb.

Only issue I have is my clutch can basically be pushed down until it touches the floor... so may be time to adjust that. On the brake pedal, I feel the brakes are adequate; however, I don’t have anything to compare it to. The brakes will slow the T down but will get nowhere close to locking the wheels up. I’m guessing that’s normal. Unlike my clutch, pressing firmly down on my brake pedal will not result in it touching the floor panels. It stays about an inch off the floorboards as does my reverse pedal.
