Running on a DOHC with Power steering removed I used this belt.:-

http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?mode=search

hope this link works if not go to camskill website and search for 6PK1285

I think the part number system is fairly self explanitory in that 1285 is the mm dimension


In hindsight I should removed the belt tensioner as well as it's not really doing anything for me with the belt setup as it is but hey ho I'll find another belt when I get 5 mins

not sure probably have to make an adjustable bracket on top of alternator so there is some kind of belt tensioner, I'll let you know how I get on

Andy B, I can't remember the belt size off the top of my head, I just measured it, went to Halfords and bought one as I did not have one the correct size in my stash. My engine sits about 30mm below the chassis rails at the lowest point, it needs a fairly significant bulge in the bonnet to clear the cam covers, lifting eye and fuel pressure regulator.

I am fairly certain there is a stock DOHC setup without the tensioner.

I think if you look for a DOHC carb setup they had a manually adjustable fan belt I seem to recall?

Hi
I just made the bracket for the alternator, did away with the power steering. Then used a piece of string as the measurement of the belt, took this along to the local Uni-part and got a size under and over. one of them fitted fine and rest were returned for a refund!

Hope this is of some help
