The 710 mm is the circunference of the belt. The 10mm is the width.

I would have thought 11mm to be the width

anyway i guess it doesn't matter as the shims will vary is all I would imagine.

Let us know how that works out.

Hi Chrys

Don put the belt on , I iwas just commenting on the size, but it does sound like he has had success. I use the contitech belt and it works fine. I personally think overtightening is a bigger problem than under, if you undertighten it may slip a little , overtighten and you can destroy your alternator, or at least your bearings.
