Hey Ian,

I'm attaching pics for your review. The Listserv will strip the attachments but you should be able to receive them. Look below this email.

These belts were added on by this guy from SF. I sold him the belts from the Carat I parted out. He had the van at bURNINGvAN last month at Ocean Beach and should have it again at Van-O-Rama on September 6th in SSF.

The belt mounts should already be on your van. They are usually covered with large screw in plastic caps. It's a much easier install on the vans because there are no cabinets to deal with.

Regards,

BenT
