Hmmm.  Mine are different sizes, although there is a relatively large
adjustment range available so you might get away with it.  Their PS belt
was damaged as well, and the roads they needed to drive would be real
challenging fighting the steering (the road between Coulterville and
Mariposa is 25 miles of hairpin turns on cliffs hundreds of feet high --
seriously).

Mine has 1100x10 for the waterpump/alternator and 1080x10 for the PS.  I
think the PS one is actually supposed to be different, and the waterpump
one I put on was an 1105.  I'd suspect that 1100 would work for either.

So I don't know.  Are they supposed to be the same, and what is the correct
size?
