Finally finished up the custom alternator bracket mock up and mini denso alternator setup. Started on this about a year ago. Been lazy i know lol. Actually was also mocking up the radiator, and hand making a fiberglass shroud too. Anyhoo, I finally put the balancer, and crank pulley back on my mock up engine, ran a clothes line rope around, marked it, measured it, and went down to my local vatozone. I had a feeling finding the correct length belt belt for this custom application was gonna suck. Thats why i put it off i think
The people there at ny vatozone are pretty good. They know about my frankenstein, and are pretty good about my nutty assed parts needs. Well i measured my clothes line rope at 42" they hook me up with my power steering belt, and my 42" belt. Well it doesnt fit. Too short my bad. I go back get a 46" belt again my idea. Too long with adjustment run all the way out. Now i get smart, and use my tape measure like i should have in the first place. I get a measurement of 44" with the adjustment slot 1/3 of the way out, so i go back again. I tell em 44" yep, thats it a 44" belt. And whelp, whattaya know 44" it was.
Well now i bet i wont ever, ever, ever, forget that the alternator belt on this setup is 44"
