They look like they might work for a fan belt.... But if the thickness still looks bothersome, another option is black plastic sprue heat-stretched to a realistic thickness. Pliable enough to be bent around the pulley grooves, you just need to zap glue the joining part in at the least visible part of a pulley, bottom-most spot is where I do that. See my pic in this post for my Backbug's flat five engine. (I also despise single-unit pulleys/belts, and also thumb my nose at engine physics)

See my pic in this post for my Backbug's flat five engine. (I also despise single-unit pulleys/belts, and also thumb my nose at engine physics) I don’t think I have the talent to bend sprue like you do No way I could get it to configure into a tensioned belt appearance.
Twokidsnosleep Posted 3 hours ago Author Posted 3 hours ago Good score on the rear tires. I found my AMT ‘33 Willy’s Gasser kit had an extra set of rear drag tires in pie crust form. Not sure why I dug to the bottom of my stash pile in the closet but something said to look there. I really like these slicks.
