Plus there are two types of band surface areas on the reaction
carrier assembly.
The early reaction carrier assembly is grooved like the
band (figure 3).
The late reaction carrier assembly is smooth like the late
band. (figure 4).
The early, grooved band can be used on either reaction
carrier assembly, but the late, smooth band can only be used
on the late, smooth surface reaction carrier
If you use a late band on an early reaction carrier, youre
looking for trouble. It might work fine for a little while with
no load, but with any kind of load it will slip and be back.
Now that we know which band goes with which reaction
carrier assembly, this is were the problems starts. If you need
to replace a grooved band, youll need to replace the carrier
assembly too, because the only new band available is the late,
smooth band.
