[QUOTE="rlepecha, post: 621485, member: 19679"] I went throught the process of trial and error using off the shelf SPA belts a few years ago, when I noticed the same problem you guys are. The current optibelts and similar a available from the usual suppliers appear to be too long, not sure if it's a quality control issue or what. Tested a few belt sizes, and ended up with an SPA907, they are available in best quality on eBay for around £5 if I remember correctly. With the correct D marked lower pulley (dual port) and alternator up top I have approx. 1/2 of the shims inside and 1/2 of them outside. Sent from my One Pro using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
