Don't trust part numbers on belts. It's best to measure them. The original should be 100.5" long. I replaced mine with a 101" long (in addition to changing the spring). The whole set seems to work much smoother then before. I'm using a belt that works very well with less tension. Its a sectioned belt made by Dayco, model: Poly-Cog® Part#: 5061001. Its widely available and cheap (try Pepboys). If you want to replace the shock spring, is is 100mm long x 21mm diameter (about 4" x 13/16"). Many auto parts and hardware srores carry springs of that size. The original spring is so stiff I can squeeze it by hand no more than 0.5". The softer spring I installed can be compressed about 1.5".
