Alternator Belt

[Bigbam 85 58]

After what belt you run when running from balancer to alternator only?

Hey bam,

I would think "it cant be done"?

Assuming its on a 4.1 crossy, as you know the water pump pulley is in there

and if you run a short belt the pulley is gonna fowl on the top of the belt.

 

Is it a standard 4.1 with air and steer your chasing a belt for?

[Bigbam 85 58]

4.1 crossy but far from standard.

Water pump pulley has been cut and shut.

No power steering and yes I know car parks are gonna suck haha

 

Pretty sure a few blokes on here with hot crossies only run a belt from balancer to Alt. Just need to know what belt fits

If he is using a electric water pump he will be fine.I run a modded Corty alt bracket a 850ish belt from memory of if using XF style bracket I was running 900 units but with modded alt housing.You would have to think 950 would be close no mods.

has a elec waterpump. Stock alternator bracket and housing.

 

Can get some string out and measure. Just thought there may have been a off the shelf belt that fits

[slydog 7,873]

There is but you have to measure to find out Remember string measurement will be short as the belt rides on the edges towards the top not down deep in the pullys like string will. Can I suggest you sacrifice a old belt cut it and fit it around the set up and cut it to suit/fit as tight as possible then get a belt maybe 25mm shorter. 

[Bigbam 85 58]

will use a old belt. Will be most accurate.
