You can use the multi rib style belt just using a v belt type adjuster and then get a belt right length.

:look:

Right, I've found what I wanted.

Do you need the Multi-rib pulley on an XE conversion?

I have a Late Type Calibra, and the belt is about an Inch thick. What parts are needed?

Hi chris. Its not to bad a job. Just a bit tight for space.

If your not using PAS then you need the V type set up mate...

You need to replace the multi ribbed bottom pulley for a V type and the alt need replacing with a V type. Then just purchase a new belt for aound £5 quid and job done.

The bottom pulley can be a bitch to come off. The securing bolts have a habit of rounding so be prepared for that and buy 6 replacments or have some handy to replace.

bttt

Few questions here guys regarding my conversion:-

Engine was from a Calibra with power steering, corsa doesnt have PAS. So Ive got the multirib bottom pulley and alternator.

Is there any belts I can use which dont involve changing to a V belt pulley?

If not, how easy is it to change the alterator and botttom pulley with the engine in the car?

Cheers

Chris
