s2 1969 water pump belt # ???

[mike alain]

Folks,    need  the water pump belt (from cam)   #,  do not have,   found out the renault pulley is a little smaller then the lotus cam pulley, I have opted to keep the larger one(lotus)
it may make the water pump spin a little faster, so need the correct blelt #,  the renault # is 6439 (too small for lotus).  Thanks.

Thanks for reply,  but I am in canada,  if I buy from USA  or England,  I must pay   exchange rate and brokerage fees (over $20.00)  just for that,   be darned if I will pay $50.00  for a
$15.00  belt if bought and had shipped to canada.  guess I will get a rope and start playing around.    Mike.

Any auto parts supplier can cross the 15290/15295 belt numbers, if not actually have them on the shelf.

Thanks for those 2 numbers,  exaclly what I needed.   Mike.

Also, I have done numerous custom alternator installs.  Choosing the correct belt is a bit of a stab in the dark.   As long as you are gentle with the belt, if it is a little too small or large, any good parts store will take it back and get you the next size along.
