Hold it between the pulley and the engine. Drill some small holes in your bellhousing and zip tie the belt to the bellhousing where it won't contact the installed belt.Quote:

I asked my car owner why he didn't mount a spare belt in the bell and he said if you break a belt it usually is followed by parts out the pan or the next time you race it, price of engines aint worth he risk.
thats probably the smart thing. we had ours like MBR suggestedQuote:

I had some mud get up in the bell housing one night that trashed the belt. I wished I would of had one ziptied in there! Had to spend time fixing that and didn't have enough time to adjust on the car. Put me behind the 8-ball the rest of the night.
