Default H22 in EG headlight problem

I'm using HCP mounts and WAS running a 36 inch alternator belt and it keeps hitting the adjuster on the headlight. With the 36 inch belt, i have about an 1/8th inch of clearance. What are you guys running to keep this from happening again.

Thanks

These are the only pics i have on the computer right now.

Let me tell you about the people that work in car parts places, they only go by the book. If you say honda they look up every honda made but dont look in say a different car manufactures for a similar belt.

i used a 34.5" belt, that kept it really close to the motor. I originally had a 35.5" belt and the alternator was almost on its last threads to tension the belt properly.

Got a 34.5 inch belt from napa today. Had to take the bolts out of the alternator and angle it, then put the belt on and line the alternator back up with the bolt holes.

Thanks for all the help guys
