'28 Fan Belt

[Charles Reese]

would appreciate if someone would post photos of an original (NOS?) fan belt (early 28). The JS state they were 'black or a reddish brown' ... i am interested in the 'reddish brown' example. I realize computers/cameras can distort color somewhat but something is better than the nothing i have at the moment.

has anyone tried the shoe dye method? if so, can you share the brand/color of dye that was successful?

I dont know if it will work or not but some time ago on the OLD Ford Barn some one mentioned : cook the belt in old strong coffee .

Here is an ORIGINAL, not NOS, But in very good condition...

Take a new black fan belt, clean it with acetone and spray it with Rustoleum red primer or flat brown. It looks very close and will hold up well. I've been running one on my 28 tudor for thousands of miles.
