Hi guys I know some of you griffith and chimaera guys have done this ..

what shorter length serps belt is needed after removal of the power steering pump ..

to clairfy the belt run will be alternator, water pump, crank pulley and tensioner .. i DON'T want the extra length that runs to the power steering pump or idler.

any help appreciated

cheers.

Last one I did was cut up an old longer serp belt with JE relocation kit and alt manual tensioner backed off and kept cutting bits of till they met nice and ordered that length give or take a few MM was spot on , of course string or wire can be just as effective but you know that one Steve wink Peter/Phazed had the same arrangment on both his TVR's IIRC

My approach was to swag it with a length of string and then swap that wrong size for one that was 'close enough'.
