[QUOTE="mike202, post: 621453, member: 17202"] I have had the Optibelt 11.3 x 912 V belt on my alternator converted engine its always been ok. (since 2014) I still have the same type of belt, but the Crankshaft pulley and alternator pulley wheels are both new, and it fits still, but now there's only one shim between the alternator pulley halves. I suppose this is ok as the belt will only stretch with age not get tighter. edit: Just realised what I have said there, of course if the belt stretches I will need to remove shims, and as there is only one I won't have much scope ! However if it ever stretches that much I will just put a new one on. [/QUOTE]
