@Cub. @marinemackay2003 would any of you lads know? or anyone that would? cheers
The trophy had a 6PK1973 fitted bud. Hope that helps? :smile:
That's fair enough bud, the larger pulley I'd imagine would require a different size belt. I can't help you there though I'm afraid!

I can't help with exact size as I'm on a no power steering set up, so a fair bit different
But all I did was go to gsf/ecp and order a range of belts so I would be grab a 6pk1980 and maybe a 6pk1985 and see which one fits and go from there, return the ones that don't fit

Cheers @marinemackay2003 , I wasn't sure what the next couple of sizes up were so I grab those two and try them
Just make sure of the sizes as some belts have a tolerance of a few mm as in it may say 1978mm on packet but it's actually 1975mm in length but I'm sure you will be ok
To get a rough idea you can always wrap a piece if string nice and tight around all the pulleys, mark it, then lay it out straight and measure it.
Also be aware the k-tec type setup uses the renault auto tensioner (auto tensioner is the best way for the rotrex) but it doesn't have a lot of movement so belt size has to be quite accurate or your tensioner will bottom out.

Well i went to ECP today and ordered a 1985, but the one than turned up against that part number said 1995 on the belt:/ anyway i said i may as well try it and see how it is
Comparing my existing 1973 against it and there wasn't too much difference. Anyway, I managed to get it on and all seems well. The tensioner seems to be compressed nicely, maybe 10mm difference in length when i held up an old tensioner against it. So I'm presuming that'll be ok!
Or would you disagree????

As long as you have good tension on the belt, you should be ok
