My A&P says zero good - maybe it has been changed over the past 40 years - when I can get a new belt - hard to get things here - I will fire it up and see what happens - worrying thing was the annunciator panel not being visible to me tucked up under the instrument panel coaming and I am 50% sure I heard a faint beeping about the time the fail happened.

I understand that in the UK there is an AD that requires a low volt light - anyone know if that is correct and where to get the kit for it? - hope not an FAA STC matter and a 337 would keep them happy.

Alternator fail is not good - especially if one doesn't realize it has happened - did not think at the time but the two bright lit up GPS's led me astray (forgot they had battery back up) and the nixi tubes on the comm and nav sets were illuminated too - I think I know exactly when it failed as I watched the nav flag slowly come up on the VOR.
