Need a shorter belt for the smaller supercharger pulley
I need a shorter belt for the smaller supercharger pulley, does anyone know what the proper size is? The stock belt is way too long...

Either something is up with the belt I bought, or the K080496HD does not fit. In using the smaller pulley, and the belt simply won't fit. It gets close to fitting with the tensioner fully opened, but it won't make it.

Smaller belt is not required, as tensioner will pick up the slack. Some have said a slightly smaller belt has better grip (presumably because of more tension from the tensioner), but that might be pure speculation.
Now to order a belt of the correct size :-(

I run the smaller pulley with the stock belt as well. Double check to make sure you have a stock belt size and make sure there are no other problems that may be causing the belt to not fit.

Isn't the stock belt 51.4 or something a lil over 51?

I am using a smaller supercharger pulley made by Shardul. Which belt is best to use as I need to replace mine?
Should I get a green heav duty version or just goto my local Mercedes dealer and buy a standard belt from them?

I wanna edit this but its too late so I'm quoting to update this belt is a touch SHORTER but slips on easily and runs great. I was even able to get it on the stock pulley. It is .4 or .6" shorter if I remember correctly. Matches the smaller supercharger pulley very well.
