Seen this clip before(on this site posted by Merlin?). Dont want to try that though, even with a skroewer-driver! Love my hands and fingers too much. I also cant imagine that this would work right with a properly tensioned belt???

Great Clip

the day i picked up my bus ....about 10km,s from home the battery sliped out ....broke the fan belt and burnt to $h!t on the exhaust ........

didnt want to chance it .... Left the bus on the side of the road got the closes Midas spares for a new fanbelt and battery

with no tools we sliped in the belt with an empty Black Label bottel found under my passanger seat

running well to date ....... :hangloose:

That one should definitely be accompanied by the standard TV disclaimer: "Don't try this at home, children."

It may make an impressive stunt, but the chances of losing eyes and digits are pretty good.
