Subject: Re: [DIESEL] 90A alternator on diesel Vanagon

I'm assuming the center-line of the new alternator is
'farther out' than the 65A.  I would think a longer belt
may be in order.  This is just a guess, but if the new
alt center-line is 1 inch farther out, a belt about two
inches longer should do it.
