Default Drop bracket and belts not fitting..

hi guys,

iv got a drop bracket on my engine to lower the alternator to miss the gt turbo but now the belts won't fit.. I'm assuming i need slightly longer ones? i know halfords did them as i found the product code and people having the same issue as me sorted it with them but now halfords don't sell them so need to know which ones to buy?

You want 937a lads it put you pretty much slap bang in the middle of the adjuster:

They are Halfords mate but the size is 937 equals the length and the a eqauls the type of belt so just ask for a 937a and you'll get the right one

That's an old photo I now have a LH thread rose joint and a RH thread rose joint with a turnbuckle so with one of those I could have it pretty much any length I like plus it easy to tighten up and you don't need to use a lever bar.
