Stretch Fit auxiliary belt section

[JohnMcL]

These new belts run without a tensioner and I'm looking at using one on the front of my LS as there is not much space for a tension pulley. Anyone know if the belt section is the same as K for regular belts?

No problem with space for tensioner on my LS7.

I suspect fitting 'stretch' belt in the limited space would be a bit of a bugger!!!

I'm guessing but I'd think it would be like for like, otherwise there wouldn't be much of a market for them in "aftermarket" mods.
I run a monster tensioner on my LSX for the S/C.
Would be interested in a link to the "stretch" belt mentioned though.

Hi F.C.
See here for stretch belts. Goodyear and others do them too.

Problem is that each one is specific to a particular application. So you have no idea of their length from the part number. I need either a poly v belt of 802PK or a stretch belt equivalent.
