AUX BELT SIZE? EP3 Crank with DC5 PAS + A/C DELETE

[Rob_DC5]

Ok, a little complicated trying to find the correct size aux belt...

2001 DC5... with EP3 engine replacement, so has larger EP3 crank BUT DC5 hydraulic PAS.

and I have now deleted A/C pully.

Complicated much....

Tried 1345 (DC5 -A/C) but too small with larger EP3 crank.

Tried 1283 (EP3 -A/C) also too small as mine has HPAS.

No idea how much bigger to go over the 1345 without buying many more belts???

I used the string method when fitting a charger with different pulley combinations just run it round the pulleys then measure it then get the closest belt to that size

It's very odd, the belt on my OTHER dc5 with a/c is 1715.

Whereas the belt that was on my track one was 1705 (ep3 engine) so 10mm shorter length with a larger crank pully.

Thought it would be the other way around???

Managed to get the 1345 to fit after some cussing so see how it goes :/
