On a 59A/B block with Offy 425 heads and generator offset to the left/driver side, what fan belt might work? And where might I find one?

Thinking about taking a cross-country trip and do not want to leave without a spare belt.

Best bet is to carefully measure the distance required.

I'd imagine a stock length belt would still work fine, unless the generator sits dramatically lower or higher than original.
