Unanswered: Fan belt shredding
Just to clarify the belt is not being streched its being worn away on the sides of the "V" the ride in the grooves of the pulleys. Thanks Ron |

I had the same problem in my GT. For some reason the alternor was out of alignment. I solved the problem by adding washers, or spacers, to the alternator.

MOST LIKELY THE PULLEY ON THE CRANK AND THE PULLEY ON THE ALTERNATOR ARE NOT IN LINE. If you stand by the side of the car and sight inline with the belt you should be able to detect the misalignment. Probably the alternator needs to be shimmed towards the front or back. It is possible, but not as likely that the crank pulley is loose. Check the large 19mm? bolt that holds in on the crank to make sure it is tight. If so then you must move the alternator. I have had the same problem and may be caused by worn rubber bushings that hold the alternator.

Solid ...
Some people replace them with ali bushes - but it is probably better to use Nolathane suspension bush material to keep a bit of flexibility and vibration isolation in the mounting system. Use one of the harder grades (black?)
