Gates belts Fan/Alternator/Water-Pump.

[SpitFire6]

Hi,
My car utilises a non-standard length fan belt as my alternator is upside down. I have also fitted a turnbuckle for adjustment.
My belt has been slipping for a while now. I need to replace it.
The 10mm-3/8" wide belts are available in 25mm lengths or less increments.

I have compiled a list from the Gates(r) website. All seem to be available online from Amazon etc.

Hopefully, somebody else will find it useful.
Cheers,
Iain.

Just recently thinking about replacing the non standard belt on my Vitesse as it`s been on there 10 years and is looking decidedly crusty.

 Saved and Thanks

Thanks Ian and yes very useful. I have a TR6 and the alternator is very close to the block/No 1 spark plug, which make it very difficult to remove the plug. Also the alternator adjustment bracket is at its maximum length. I like the idea of a turnbuckle as I could then move the alternator further away.

Could you post a photo of your turnbuckle design Ian?

Best regards,  Colin
