[Tigers] Alternator Adjustment Arm / Fan Belt

[Would U. Believe]

Thanks.  I actually have the bracket that the alternator mounts to.  This is
a Tiger 2 only part.  What I think I don9t have is the right arm that bolts
between the water pump and the bottom of the alternator.  This is the one
that lets you tighten the fan belt.  I wonder if my problem is that my fan
belt is too long.  Anyone know the correct or usable length of the fan belt?
Thanks.
