You can reuse the Triumph belt but it is a bit tricky to get it on. You can
remove the alternator's mounting bolt, pivot the alternator up towards the
water pump, slide the belt over the alternator pulley, and then replace the
mounting bolt. You'll still have enough clearance to adjust the belt using
the original pivot. On my car the replacement (Bosch/Fiesta) alternator
won't pivot far enough to get the belt over. I've tried sourcing a slightly
longer belt but both NAPA and Farm & Fleet carry the regular size and one
that's TOO long. They both list an intermediate size but it's special order.
