BELT FAN 12 VOLT
Fan belt 12 volt
For 12V conversion systems
Replacement fan belt for WWII military vehicles converted to a 12 volt electrical system. This belt is specifically designed for use with 12V generators or alternators which have a different pulley spacing than original 6V systems.

Specifications B-section, inside length 1225 mm |
System 12 volt conversion |

Application Modified electrical systems |
Belt type V-belt engine fan |
Features
- Inside length 1225 mm for correct tension on 12V conversions
- B-section (17 mm wide) as original
- Compatible with 12V generators and modern alternators
- High-quality rubber construction
- Replaces original belts on 12V converted vehicles
★ This belt has a longer dimension than the standard 6V fan belt, as 12V systems often have different pulley spacings due to the use of modified generators or alternators.
Application
Specifically for vehicles with 12 volt conversion. On WWII Dodge vehicles, some Command Cars (WC56/57/58) and later WC51/52 vehicles from late 1944 onwards were already factory-fitted with 12V systems for radio use. Many other 6V vehicles were subsequently converted to 12V for more modern electrical equipment.
Installation notes
Note: 6V and 12V belts are NOT interchangeable. The 12V belt is longer because the generator or alternator pulley has a different position. Always verify that your vehicle actually has a 12V conversion before ordering this belt. When in doubt: measure the old belt (inside length).
Compatibility
Not suitable for original 6V systems — these use a shorter belt (approximately 44-45 inches/1120-1140 mm inside length). Only for 12V conversions with modified generator or alternator. The exact fit depends on the type of 12V conversion (dynamo or alternator) and the brackets used.
Historical context
During WWII, certain Dodge WC models received factory-fitted 12V electrical systems for use with powerful radio equipment. After the war, many 6V vehicles were converted to 12V by various armies to standardise with more modern electrical equipment.
