I stretched the take-off belt and the new belt, looped between my index fingers. Perhaps not particularly accurate - at least not to a 1/2" tolerance. But, the new belt does fit. However, I'll go see how the tensioner is positioned. (That aspect never crossed my mind until you brought it up. Hmmmm....)
