S50- removed powersteering pump. Anyone know proper belt length?

[m3j0n]

Just wondering if anyone has already removed the power steering pump and knows the new belt length off hand before I go experiment with belts. Thanks!!

Post 38 is what I based my purchase off, belt worked fine and fitted as indicated. Only thing you have to check is if you have an idler pulley, might change the routing of the belt.

I used an oe Mini Cooper S belt. I forget the part number so I guess this probably doesn't help much.

x2. in that thread, post 58 shows a good way to route your belt if you decide to keep your idler pulley. I was able to keep my idler pulley using the 6pk1400 belt.
