Balance Belt width
Could someone with a balance belt handy please measure the width for me.
The replacement sent to me is about 1/8th narrower than my old one. I don't want to use the skinnier one if its not right.

There were two sizes of balance belts, a 15mm (old style) and an 18mm (new style). I don't know if the old style is bad/unreliable or not (my car had the old style on it when I got it. replaced with the new style). The different sizes are tensioned differently.

Thanks for that HondaDustR, I think I'll wait for the wider replacement for peace of mind. They must have changed them for a reason.
