I have recently installed new belts in N81VA - my restoration
project... Any way, I bought new belts from
Velocity and recall that the bolts that come with the belts are big,
probably 1/2" x fine thread. My airplane
has the original had hard points tapped for 5/16" bolts, so I made
bushings and used the existing mounts.
I'll try to find one of the bolts that came with my new belts and
report the size/thread ASAP.
One other note, the belts are automotive type with the inertial reels
and are nicely made. The point to con-
-sider is that these belts are the right length for use in the
Velocity, even in my old standard door model,
the belts fit the plane.
