is not bottoming out, is contacting the sides of the pulley and to visuall=
y gauge wear. I have a Healey BT7 with 3/8=E2=80=9D width nominal (0.380=E2=
=80=9D actual SAE size) and I assume the BN2 has the same width pulleys. Th=
e SAE standard for Ride Out for a 3/8=E2=80=9D pulley is 0.060 +/- 0.045=E2=
=80=9D. Your 1/8=E2=80=9D Ride Out is very slightly over but I suspect once=
the belt is adjusted and run in it will fall within the SAE tolerance.</p>=

ush or slightly below the outside diameter of the 3/8=E2=80=9D pulley but t=
his is not the correct belt. However, I suspect some will argue their 10mm =
belt works just fine and it probably will but you run the risk of the belt =
bottoming out and loosing the visual check of belt wear.</p><p class=3DMsoN=

walls, not bottom out, but this belt sticks above all three pulleys by 1/8=

is one of the generic belts that a few on the list suggested. As you =
can see it fits deep in the pulley and actually bottoms out in all three.&n=
