Altenator belt used if delete a/c
I bought a Broadfoot alternator bracket, its used if you delete the a/c. I need a new belt and Broadfoot doesnt answer their phones anymore. Would anyone happen to know the part number and manufacturer for the shortened belt used with this bracket. Thanks, Its for a 944....

Sounds like a good idea, but how are you gonna tension that belt? It's the a/c compressor that's adjustable. I think the whole point of the delete is to replace the a/c compressor with a bracket that essentially becomes the tensioner pulley.

I just did the AC delete. I got both the bracket and belt from Lindsey Racing. Maybe their belt will work with your bracket?

I recently received a AC delete bracket from a Rennlist group buy -- I would think the dimensions are all the same. This kit came with a Contitech "Multirib" 6 PK 720 belt. 6 must be the number of grooves and 720 must be length.
I believe based on here, it's the same size as factory AC delete bracket -- the regular one is 6 PK 1000: http://www.asco96.dsl.pipex.com/944t/bosch.htm
