I use NU T Link detachable link belt. I measure the length I need, detach it from the roll then join the ends together and fit it.
If I need to run the car without the water pump I just shorten the belt by removing some links[frame]Image[/frame]

You might find it a little expensive, a 5 metre box cost me over £100 but it seems to be virtually indestructible.
I could be pursuaded to part with a metre for £20.

Why go to 'specialist' for a fan belt!? Even Hellfrauds will have one - or any decent Autoshop........

Try Kramp.com, also in nl they have a lot of industrial V-belts in all of the types.
A B28 belt, is a very standard in the industry....

B section is the thickness of the Series MM fanbelt. M1000 fan belts are A section

No fear - but I will be there on Monday repairing the damage the Diesels do to the track on the foreshore.....
Actually - I do quite like the diesels, and I hope to get passed for the class 37 quite soon......
