    Re: Shock absorber id & bush source

    Isn't there a list of alternative belts in one of the Roadster build manuals? Possibly worth a check.But there are many industrial suppliers that only identify belts by length, not by application. Is that what you have found?

    Loads of Marlin Reference can be found documents here or there.

        Yes exactly - the Ashley power folks have 100s of belts of all sizes and I've ordered 2; and 825 & an 838mm length; the one fitted on the car is an 850 & I can't adjust it anymore & its slack. I'll post up my results...

            Got back from a warm break in Majorca, one day back at work & then fitted the new alternator belt today, 838mm instead of the 850mm which was on and squealing away because I couldn't tighten it any more. Took a bit of 'persuasion' but the new belt is in & I now have it tight & a good 1" of alternator arm still unused so it'll be fine. Flat battery, charged up & started up, no squeal at all, very happy.
