Need the size of what, your UDP? Why?

Search, and you'll find the belt size.

Was it made by Paradox, or was it a rebranded/resold Unorthodox?

Sorry, can't help with the belt sizes, but I can offer some advice. Once upon a time, I tried the Unorthodox pulley on my 97 Maxima and it was a freakin disaster. Apparently, I got one of the very first ones made and it didn't come with the sleeve that makes the seal with the engine. The stock pulley makes a seal with the engine, preventing the oil from coming out. Even when I got my 2nd pulley (with sleeve), oil still leaked out. I even went out and bought a new rubber seal, and still, it leaked. I gave up on the pulley. Good luck.

Is it a true UDP or possibly it's OEM size but lighter?

An UDP should have come with a new properly sized belt, or instructions telling you what size to get...... sounds like you missing stuff......

it's not the pullies fault that you didn't research before you committed fundage to it.

please watch your language.
thanks.

I have an unorthodox UDP which is a smaller diamater pulley and lighter than the stock unit.

My belt sizes are as follows:
K060408 (41.5" or 1055mm) for the Alternator AND A/C system
K040292 (29.75" or 755mm)For the Power Steering unit.

You can also use an alternate belt size:
K060410 (41 5/8" or 1050mm) for Alt and A/C
K040300 (30.75" or 780mm) for the Power Steering units

If you have a stock diamater pulley that is lighter, I would assume that you would use the stock size belts.

hope that helps.

And wizard, when I bought my pulley almost 7 years ago now, I needed to purchase the belts seperately. That was my experience.

Google the number, your answer is there.





























Gates, as are all belts with that same K**** part number style.

I don't see a manufacturer listed in his quote, or in the original post that he quoted

it would have taken less effort for him to write "gates" but we like to keep things challenging on the .org.i found my answer 15 minutes later yesterday. i searched through the whole first page of search threads(where i found this thread) that had upd belts in it. ironically enough one of them pointed to the faq page for something else, where i found a nice writeup and manufacturer and part #'s.
