Not realy, I used the pic in the post and still.... HELP...

[blackhawkimpact]

Probably routing the belt wrong

[jizo]

Am i missing something?? I used the Mini cooper s belt # and it comes up to be 60 inches.
Went to pep boys and told him i need a 56.1 inch serp.belt and still its too long.
We measured the whole length of where the belt would go with a tape mesure and we got 40.75 inches. WTF!!!??? What am i doing wrong?

Is that an 850 alternator?

To add data to the thread...


I kept my idler pulley and a 56.25in belt is the perfect size.

Ok very good that's what I thought just wanted to be sure. Trying to not buy any of the wrong parts or anything that won't work for my application on the M50 swap. Thanks so much for the prompt reply! :D

What size serpentine belt would you run on an M50 if you are only running an alternator and power steering pump (NO A/C compressor) ?
Thanks

A normal one. A/C has it's own belt.

A/C compressor is on a separate belt. Assuming you are running all the regular accessories (alt, PS, water pump) then you would just need a regular sized belt (6PK1460 IIRC)

I think the goodyear part number would be a 4060561 or 4060560

Or 560k6
or 561k6

You get the idea.

I used a stock R53 Mini Cooper S belt. I didn't have the aux pulley on the alternator, just like in the picture above. It was perfect. Thought I'd mention that as it was an off-the-shelf item (not that most serp belt lengths won't be, it's just easier to deal with some parts guys when you've got a Make and Model).

Just ordered this belt and it does work. Part # is 11287520199 and the #'s on the belt are 6KX1388.

56.1 inch

Yup, this is what I used too. You can get one at any auto parts store.
