jonnie205 1 Posted March 30, 2007 Running a GTI6 engine with no pas or AC etc. I need a ribbed belt which is 1 rib wider than the mi16 belt but the same length as i am only running the alternator. Anybody know a part no for this belt or which car they came from. I know there is such a belt as i had one before ta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 191 Posted March 30, 2007 (edited) Check the length of the belt and go to Halfords. About the only good thing they have to offer is all the belts on display. I used a 725mm on the 306 Rallye I just did. Edited March 30, 2007 by sandy309 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pj838 0 Posted March 30, 2007 Sorry I cant help but I'm interested in this too. Although someone posted in another thread the length was PK700 or PK720 using a zx16v bracket etc - I think Whizzer71 who has gti6 conversion. Jonnie are you using the GTi6 mounting bracket with the alternator fitted to it as per standard? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alastairh 47 Posted March 30, 2007 When i did one, i went to my local parts place, and just said i needed x length times by 5. ok it would be easyier for a spacific car, but its a universal part so can't be that hard to find out. Alastair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonnie205 1 Posted March 30, 2007 Yes i will be using the gti6 mounting bracket and alternator and tensioneing the belt by using an offset pulley bolted to block. Maybe i will just go to factors and see what i can find Yes i will be using the gti6 mounting bracket and alternator and tensioneing the belt by using an offset pulley bolted to block.

whizzer71 0 Posted March 31, 2007 (edited) Yep guys I used Zx bracketry and alternater on the bottom of the block ,had to cut the air con lugs of the sump to get it to fit and then used a 5pk 725 belt and drilled another hole slightly further up the bracket to get the belt tensioned,does the job perfectly well and seemed like the easiest way out ! See Pic below,not the best angle but you can just about see the tensioner bracket in the left lower corner. Edited March 31, 2007 by whizzer71 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
