Datsun 1200 uses a tradition V-belt to drive the engine accessories. This is commonly called the "fan belt" because it drives the Water pump and Radiator fan.

Minor Maintenance

USA 1972 Owners manual (see page 35 for fan belt information): Fan belt slackness: 10-15mm

To check the fan belt tension, loosen the Alternator adjusting link bolt and adjust the tension by moving the alternator.

Check the belt slack between the alternator and the fan pulley and adjust it.

Fan belt slackness: 0.394 to 0.591 in (10 to 15 mm)
