Default New belt out of range?

I ordered a Bando Belt #7PK1765 off Amazon for my 2004 Acura TSX.

I just finished replacing it.

Is the provided picture out of standard range?


It seems to me it is right before the line, and still in range. No squeals, everything works.

Sigh, apparently I needed the 7PK1755. I used the Acura part number in google search and came up with the 7PM1765. Went on to Bandousa to check... and yeah seems like I need the 7PK1755

However, according to amazon, the 1765 fits :O

Returning the belt is $8 out of the small amount I paid. Just looks like it is going in the trash, after the 7PK1755 comes in. Thank god it is not a long process

This is why you should use a parts look-up rather than use random Amazon sellers listing whatever they want to get you to buy it like eBay sellers do.

The belt you needed is only one inch shorter and you probably would have been fine for a while with the currently installed too long one. I understand the desire to do it right though.

So the one inch longer one will be fine for a little while? Will it get bad as if it were in range, as in cracking or aging, that way I can keep the 7PK1755 in the car as a spare at hand?
