Default Belt issues

I’m putting a 420 predator into a 1989 club car. The issue I’m having is the factory belt is to short and I can’t find a 1 inch belt longer than the factory one. Any help would be awesome.

I think CPP maybe Vegas has the long belt, last I knew there were only those two belts available for 1" wide CC.

Can you give us some more info on your swap? How you mounted the 420 in there? I just put a 420 in my 88 Club Car and was able to use the stock belt still using the starter/generator. I believe the stock belt is 37 1/2.

Think it is THIS one its 42". Far as I know there are no others, its been an issue for CC swaps.

I put a clone in my G9 with the stock belt, measured and made it the same distance. The clone was higher but it worked out fine for years. One day I swapped to a 94c replacement clutch and it was tighter on the belt. I could not move the engine it was hitting the trans shifter. Finally had to pull the clone and use a longer belt for a polaris atv, drill new holes to mount engine, redo the gen. But its all good now it shifts better and works great.

This is the longest belt I could find at the time (about 8 years ago) that would work for me. It's right around 42". I'll get a better pic today showing all the info stamped on the belt.

Forgot to mention the engine is mounted as far fwd as possible to clear the transaxle governor, hence the need for a longer than usual belt.

Never mind. I'm an idiot. I missed the belt width in your first post.
