re: squealing X1/9 belts

[Dwight Varnes <xmxbreed@domain.elided>]

Virtually every time I've encountered a problem with recently installed
X1/9 belts it's been due to the owner not using FIAT belts. The sizing
on the 5 speed (and especially a/c equipped) models is so critical that
I haven't found an aftermarket belt that fits precisely like the FIAT
ones.
My suggestion is to do it all over again with FIAT belts....
