Well I would rather hope it is the alternator than the WOOD.
In the process now of loosening the alternator, bit of a bugger from above.

Chaps, I have a result, took the fan belt off pushed the alternator away.
Went for my usual bumpy test run, BINGO, not a sound.
Admittedly I was rather worried re the wood, Phew!
Only thing that perturbs me is there does not seem to be any indication of any friction / rubbing. Off to get a slightly shorter belt anyway.
Oh and of course will have to strip the other side down now, to get a matching pair.
Pandy, thanks for the advice re Ear Plugs however I would have then had to distribute to all on the street, as it was rather an embarrassing situation.
I really appreciate all your time.

In case anyone is interested or for future reference the new belt is a 763mm x 10mm which gives enough clearance, the existing was a 775mm.
Next thing to do is to work out why my roadster bumper keeps coming loose even after a short run, just the near side though.
