Exactly what information are you after? As there is very little if any variation of the belt arrangments other than the size of the charger pulley and the type of belt drive twin-V, poly-V, or ribbed(for her your pleasure), I'm sure someone wil help you out!??

Cos i have 3 belts all different sizes and which can go on different ways, the smallest one which can just fit over the crank pulley and the alternator pulley but i think its too small as i have not done the alternator lower fixing bracket.

I see what you mean now, yes you should have 2 same size belts running around all three pulleys, 2 belts just gives it better drive under load.
Those with aftermarket ribbed or poly-V have only one belt to worry about.

Sorry if I upset you, I'm a nice guy really  :-* :-*
