Shorter V6 Alternator Belt

[StuF215 1 1 Cars]

Anyone know which belt I can use after removing the power steering and air con and only running the alternator? Do you other v6 boys by an off the shelf belt or add an extra tensioner in?

 

I have found a close match which I have got from halfords but it still sweaks like a mofo! I need a shorter one.

 

Thanks

I went to GSF and bought a '4pk 875' belt. It's a common belt from loads of cars apparently.

If you get a bit of string and run it around all of the pulleys and tensioners (with them slackened a bit), add about 20mm, then go to halfords and just go through their stock of belts you'll find something. Provided they don't get pissed off with you. I had to do it for my non-standard alternator and got one that fits perfectly.

I cut down the original and stapled it to the 'correct' size then went halfords but the closest I could find is the one I have, the next size down was way to small, the size up too big. Or just a different width or tooth pattern.
