Subject:Re: Wbx alternator belt question

Sheesh... I might have made a number error. Probably I meant 10x1070 and 10x1065 etc.... I added one hundred :+)
10 mm wide does sit low in the pulley as is, but hey, I’m giving up on any belt options now.

What I thought was, that the correct size was 10x1165 ( or 1168?). Obviously I’m unsure. The 1170 length fit fine, could tighten it to spec.
