Subject:Belt Size?
From:John Reynolds

I bought two (Bando brand) belts for my 86  (non AC) 2.1 Vanagon. - I am not sure the size is correct.
One is listed as 9.5 x 1090, the other does not list the size.
The specs are 10 x 1100 and 10 x 1075.

However when I measure the new belt widths, (or the old one) they seem to be the same at 10mm (outside edge),
but of course at least one of them is shorter, but only 10mm.    Belts purchased through the Autopart International chain
(formerly foreign autopart).

Are these good to use?

Yes I know Continental are the ones to get, but I just wanted to install, at least have spares for a upcoming (short) trip.
