How would you adapt a new pulley and automobile serpentine belt or drive belt to?

a dryer? I have a dryer whose replacement belt was only about 1/4" wide and which rides on a pulley nearly double that width. The new belt squeals the plastic pulley tensioner wheel because it rides pretty much on one side of the pulley and so
A dryer belt is only supposed to be about 1/4" - 3/8" wide. The tensioner and idler pulleys are wider than that so repairmen with fat fingers, like me, can get the belt on the pulleys and in the correct configuration without removing the drum

Nissan Micra Test Drive Review

Nissan has been in India since a few years with limited products in their portfolio. Nissan’s range revolves around high end cars such as the Nissan Teana, Nissan X trail, and the recently launched sports car, the 370Z, all of which are imported as completely built units thereby justifying their price tags. India has emerged as the fastest growing automobile market in the world and the small car segment is boiling with almost unlimited options and Nissan adds another quality product to their portfolio in the form of the Nissan Micra, a small car which was perhaps the most awaited launch of the year. Nissan has high expectations from the Micra since it is the first of its mass production cars in India based on the all new ‘V Platform’. We drive the Micra and judge for ourselves.
Exteriors –
The Micra has a typical love it or hate it appearance. Few have even branded its looks as feminine. All said and done, the Micra has a classic road presence and that can be given to its bubbly looks, though its takes some time before it grows on you. The Micra’s design has a wee bit of retro feel to it, unlike other cars in the segment. The front headlamps resemble eyes popping out of the bonnet and the top variant we tested has fog lamps as standard. Alloys wheels are not even an option on the top variant and puny 165/70/14 tyres do well do get ARAI figures of 18.06 kmpl. One cant help but notice the boomerang shaped roof, which is not only aerodynamic but also reduces wind noise at high speeds. The side profile highlights the large windows. The rear windows goes down completely and this his is quite thoughtful especially since the rear bench in most small cars feels cramped and claustrophobic. The rear glass size is generous but thick C pillars compromise the rear visibility. Rear wipers are standard on the top variant. Another thoughtful touch to the rear wiper is that it can be used in two speeds, continuous and intermittent, very convenient in the rains. Taillight cluster looks a bit obsolete and seems to bear close resemblance to the one seen on the old Alto. The lower right corner of the boot bears the badge ‘Micra’. We were driving the top of the line XV variant and to our surprise ‘XV’ was not mentioned anywhere. The Micra is equipped with the i-key, an intelligent key, which may be in your pocket or bag (within 3 feet of the car) and to unlock the door one needs to press the request sensor, a small black button located on both front door handles and just above the boot handle and tug at the handle.
