Hey all, being the topic at the moment is belts would someone please
tell me what the best type of belt would be to use for an A/C compressor
that currently has a smooth belt that screeches no matter how tight?
Teeth? Ribs? Coating? Brand?  BTW- the A/C is on my SRL311   - Thanks -

V-belt numbers indicate cross-sectional dimension and length.  There are
2 
different numbering systems that make it a bit more challenging.

V-belts are expressed in inches. For US V-belts, the part number first
has a 
letter to id the cross section, and a number to id the approx inside
length. 
Narrow V-belts are id'd by a number - 3,5, or 8 --- for the belt top
width 
in 1/8" increments, followed by the letter "V." The rest of the digits 
indicate the effective belt length in tenths of inches.

The metric belts made to ISO standards have an ISO number showing the
width 
about 1/3 down the "V" and the "theoretical" length based on the
diameter 
when measured 1/3 down the "V".

For belts made to DIN standards, the numbers indicate top width and
inside 
circumference in millimeters.

In other words, if you need a belt longer than the 7340, assuming the
same 
manufacturer, you want a highter numbered belt, the number depends on
how 
much more length you need.

Hope this confusion helps a bit.
