Well luckily I have spare belts. Unfortunately I've moved both the motor and the mount have been moved. What is the proper position? |

hi everyone just a tip that might help those of you that have later hoovermatics as you probably know vibration and noise can be a problem if a load is even slightly off balance i have fond memories of my mum filling the spinner to the top slaming the lid down then off into the garden with the first load not a second thought for the hoovermatic violently shaking itself ot death .After recently fitting a new pump to my 5090 i decided to try and calm the vibrations down a bit by stuffing some rubber treadair carpet underlay between both the wash and spin tubs and the cabinet i have to say the results are exelent the machine is much quieter when spinning you can actually hear it get up to speed then purr away at max revs.Im sure someone has already thought of this idea and im sure there are some of you that like that deafening noise an off balance load can cause well thats fine just to say my hoovermatic no longer sounds like a ford fiesta more like a BMW hope someone finds this usefull regards Anthony

a spin can before tightening up the bolts. The paint tub holds the spin can in the right position allowing you to tip it up and tighten up those bolts
