Im after a shorter Poly v belt im not sure on measurements yet.Whats the best way to get the perfect measurement to ensure I get the right belt.

 

run a piece of string around all of the pulleys and tensioner so both ends meet, then just measure the length of the string and get a poly vee belt in that length mate.

 

Sounds good to me.Can you get a shorter belt ie 500mm?

 

If tou going tp run the alternator at the front why dont you biy a non ac puma belt I just got ome I can measuere it for ya

 

Hi Ryan im only using the crank pully alternator pully and the water pump pully.Wouldnt your belt be to long?

 

When I supercharged mine and had to get a new belt, I ran some string round and measured it, then done the same thing again but slackened the tensioner fully.... Then got a belt in the middle of the two measurements, so the tensioner was bang in the middle of its range of movement.

I would'nt know just having a guess tbh but il measure it and see it loads smaller then the one I had on before thou

 

I no its gonna be short my last belt was a 1050mm im think this could be 600/700mm ive not seen any on ebay in that size lol

 

Put old belt on, cut it to size then measure.

Then buy new belt.

 

I will give it a wirl tomorrow

I went for an 830mm belt in the I had a bit extra in length.I don't have a lot of movement on the alternator.

 

Yeah should be fine, how the rest of the car voming along

 

Yeah its going well to be honest drives well enough.

 

There are literally thousands of belt sizes, there's always something that will fit.
