Re: [A/S] Rubrail and beltline
Good point on shrinkage of the rubrail/beltline. When I picked up my used
Excella in May '01 in AZ. the belts looked brand new. When the cold
weather hit in Nov./Dec., the belts pulled through the rivets on the end in
several areas. I guess the smart thing would be to install during hot
weather with enough slack or better yet, install during cold weather. If
you then found that somehow the belt worked itself out of the track, you
could shorten it slightly, drill and rivet again. What has worked for those
who have done this?
