It seems I'm not the only person to have had issues with fitting the standard offering for alternator belts... Have bought an 11.3x912, but as can be seen in the photo, this is waaaay too long. I've tried pulling the belt tight with one hand to show how much it would ride out of the top pulley - I'd guess it'd fall straight off if I tried to use it.
The one that was previously fitted was a 10x900; I was under the impression that the longer length was compensated for with the wider width, but doesn't seem to be the case with mine. So what is different with my motor to other people's with alternator conversion meaning the standard belt is too long?
