Parts:

  • the A belt · already on the bench

Do: At the rear-right A drive unit, take the belt round the first stack, over the toothed motor pulley, and back out round the second, the S-shape on p.133. Seat the belt on the pulley teeth, not on a flange.

Nudge the belt: the motor pulley indexes tooth by tooth and does not slip. The belt leaves heading forward along the right Y extrusion.

What you're looking at

The S-wrap gives a drive pulley its grip: the belt comes in over one bearing, wraps a large arc of the toothed motor pulley, and leaves over a second bearing. More teeth in contact means the belt cannot skip under hard acceleration.
