I need a little help here. I had my prop pulled for a leak at the seal and while the prop was off it was recommended that I replace the belt. I went out and got the exact same belt (Gates 7360XL) that was on the airplane before the prop was pulled. Now the new belt is too big and the alternator adjusting bracket doesn't have any room left to adjust and put tension on the belt. My question is, is there a bigger (longer) bracket? Mine is boss mounted and the bracket in question has part number 99-1004 stamped on it, the alternator is a plane power alternator. I know I could pull the prop and put on a smaller belt but I would like to avoid pulling the prop. Thanks in advance!!
