Marv,
After looking at my installation last night it looks like a belt guard
might work very nicely.  Since I already have dual alternators
installed, it seems this would be the easiest and most cost effective
solution.  Mark S.

Given the concern about the first broken belt removing the remaining
one, I've often wondered why no one has suggested a sheet metal guard that
separates the 2 belts?  A flat sheet of .040 aluminum mounted to some brackets that
were outside the perimeter of the belts with clearance holes for the pulleys
would shield the belts from each other... there must be at least .250 or more between the belts.  Has anyone ever tried anything like this?
