as above^
whats people doing? im assuming loads of V shape belts here? but iv got a corsa so keeping the standard belt shape isn't a problem

just toying with the idea of removing the power steering, less is more and all that lol

When i put my 16xe in my nova i left the mutli v belt set up just to get it running, i ordered a belt through work for a non pas model removed the tensioner and made a bracket for the top alternator bolt and manually tensioned it. Hope this leads you in the right direction.

if you dont use a tensioner, so just go from alternator to crank pulley you will need a 6 rib 865mm thats what im using on mine its a tight fit but its perfect :)
