The covers tend to split at the bolt holes. My bet is the strip was for that
reason.

Subject: odd parts added to generator mount
| I used studs and nice thick washers, shimmed the front, and installed the generator on the Eldo yesterday. With all 5 shims between the lower pulley halves the belt was too loose. One shim removed is just about right. I cleaned up the black plastic generator cover, and there are some steel strips in the boxes that were installed along the sides of that cover, using the small screws that hold the cover to the generator mount. Chrome (rusty) about an inch wide, and slightly longer than the plastic cover. Any ideas what these were for? 73 Eldo (motor in the frame!) 78 T3/949 |
