Measuring Your Belt
Measuring Your Belt
Check the markings first. Most belts have their size printed on the back, for example A24, SPZ1000 or 8PK1200. Type that code into the search bar to find the exact match.
Markings worn off? Measure across the top of the belt for the width, and its depth. For the length, wrap a piece of string round the belt, mark where it meets, then lay the string flat and measure it.
Timing or ribbed belt? Count the teeth or ribs, and measure the gap between them.

Check it’s the right belt

- Count the ribs on the underside of the old belt: this one has 5. The second picture shows how to count them.
- Elastic belts have an E in the part number (EPK). Only replace an EPK belt with another EPK belt.
