Porsche 993 AC Belt Size

Properly sizing the AC belt on the 993 seems to be problematic.  I have tried two belts, one of which was barely long enough and the other was impossible to make fit.  I think the problem is two-fold.  First, I think the Porsche spec calls for a belt that is a little too short.  Second, some vendors sell a belt as compatible for this application, but it has a different tooth design and will not fit.


Optibelt Marathon 2, PORSCHE 999.192.363.50:  works, just barely long enough.
Contitech 999-192-363-50-M21 AVX13x1085La:  will not fit.
Contitech AVX13x1100La: reports on Rennlist that this size will work.

Both are size AVX13x1085La, and have the same part numbers.  However, a few photos show they are designed very differently.
