I'm sure haflords sell them by length. Prolly expensive for what they are. Other than that - use an electric one! Give you a few more bhp.

what do you mean a eletric one

Dont connect the belt driven one (to the fan at least!)

Use a thermostatically connected electric one. This only switches when engine is too hot...

Go hErE and click on FANS... sorry that website uses frames.

I think he needs a shorter one for the alternator if he's done away with the fan. Car spares shop near me sells them by length, 'V' belt type are not too dear.

and the top and bottom pulley

I bought an 850mm belt from Halfords for 3.99. I think the number is HB850 (the numbers relate to the length, ie HB900 is 900mm long etc).
