Ron,

I want to hear more about how you use a "drafting pad" on or in drive with the
belt of your car.   How do you affix it to the drive ass'y...what is it
affixed to?  Does it increas the life of the belt or wear off the vulcanized
rubber to the cord?  My M19 has a steel Sou. Ry. type box cab with alot of
weight and wind resistance.  Maximizing lost drive energy without compromising
the life span of the car and parts is a must for me.
