......as the alternator needs moving to allow for the run of pipe to the T/B what belt have you used?

Twas what I was thinking of doing. "I need one of these but this long please "

Be nice to know of a car with the right length so I can ask for that specifically, be easier anyway!!

it depends on your set up, i got a piece of cotton and went round all the pullies, that will give you the length for your set up but be sure to go on the outside of the pullies as i went in the grooves and it was too short, hope that helped :-)

Yeah its how I was going to measure it too

I'm going to be flipping the alt over (to where the A/C pump is fitted on A/C cars) and running a plain pulley under where the T/B will exit. I'll be adjusting it via the alt, similar to how it is in the oem position, so will have a small amount of room to move length wise!

Have you any pics of your set up?

as above measure your belt run with a piece of string, then pop into a motor factors, most have a decent stock of belts so you should find one that fits.

this is my setup
