113 - 1970 280SL ( Fan-belt )
« on: January 17, 2020, 16:14:55 »
Perhaps an unusual question for the group.
Is anyone familiar with the original fan-belt , and who it was made by ?
Thanks

Belts are inexpensive directly from Mercedes.  I have several replacement belts and they are indeed Continental "Conti-Tech" with a little three pointed star on them.
