illestVillian Posted October 21, 2014 Report Posted October 21, 2014 Have a 2003 Acura tl and just ordered 240 Mechman alt. What is the average belt lengths youz usually go with? A inch or a half inch shorter?
Rich Schenk Posted October 21, 2014 Report Posted October 21, 2014 Usually half an inch shorter but it all depends from car to car. I usually buy a couple and start with original if that don't work try till I get one that fits and return which ever ones don't work. Buy gates belts they our the best belts.

RainStryke Posted October 21, 2014 Report Posted October 21, 2014 When I got my Singer alternator, he advised to go 1/2 inch shorter due to the smaller pulley. Mechman didn't have any instructions like that?
Syphlyn Posted October 21, 2014 Report Posted October 21, 2014 Mechman told me 1/2 - 1 inch shorter. I think mine is like 3/4 shorter. Installing it today gunna try the stock one first and see how it feels and then the shorter one if need be... My belt I bought is a gatorback.

GSanders17 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Posted October 21, 2014 I think I got one about 3/4 inch shorter when I got my singer alt. It will depend on vehicle for sure. I actually wrapped something around my pulleys and measured it to get a rough guess of what I needed. I dont remember what i used but i made sure it didnt stretch.

illestVillian Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Posted October 22, 2014 Mechman told me today .5"to1".I just ordered it today so no instructions yet.
Casket Posted October 22, 2014 Report Posted October 22, 2014 Never understood the shorter belts for overdrive pulley as i had more than enough play left in my tensioner to take up the extra slack.
