Bentley spec for a belt that length is 0.4 inches for a new (less than ten
minutes service) belt with "thumb pressure" meaning about 25 lbs pressure;
and 0.6" on a belt that's been run.  Err slightly on the tight side as alt
and p/s belts are just barely over the 1-meter limit for half that amount.
