Harder than I thought as the new belt seemed fat too short to get the unit in place. The old split belt was fine (stretched ?) and luckily so was the back-up one I had in the boot. The packet said 1010 mm so I'll look for another one as well as a proper spare.
New one (right) is definitely lighter, but did not work when I first started it up. Red charging light went out after a bit of revving. Like the new electrons needed to flush out the old ones...
The pulley is also now in no danger of hitting the frame.
Rain stopped me doing a test drive so that will have to wait - time will tell if it's a permanent fix.
Earlier Aero utility run - an no sign of 'clonking'.
