G'Day Fella's,
I recently replace both the fan belts on my 11-1989, BJ73 (3B).
When I went to Toyota for the new belts, I was told the existing Alternator belt (part # 99343-01235), was no longer available.
So I purchased a new Water Pump belt and placed on order, the OEM reccomended replacement Alternator belt.
When this arrived, I tried to fit it but it was just to short.
I removed the air filter box, and the alternator but despite this, I was not able to get the new belt on the pulley's.
So I took it back, and Toyota refunded me the money ($50.05 AUD, Trade price).
I ended up getting a slightly longer, after market Bosch brand (# 15A1270) belt, and Battle Cruiser, was back up and spinning again.
Here are some images of the old and new belts together.
and the new Bosch belt in place, on the Alternator.
If you look, you can see the black marker pen marks, on the radius tensioner, adjustment arm.
As you can see, the adjustment difference between Old and New belts, was about 40mm or 1 1/2".
Despite the extra length of the Bosch belt, there is still plenty of clearance between the Alternator body and the air fliter box.
Hope that helps
D'oh!
