[QUOTE="Nugsy, post: 511538, member: 13505"] Got a similar issue and done a bit of reading lately, apparently the bigger belt 912 is also wider, reason being when upgraded to a alternator the thinner Genrorator 900 belt kept breaking. However as your pulley wears, when you put the bigger belt on it slipps down a bit and ends up loose. Best idea is to find a smaller belt 900 that has a wider width, to give the required strength, and means it will need shims back in for the new width. Not the best explanation but it makes sense in my head.... [/QUOTE]
