The "7" series is 7/16 or 11mm. The original belt is 10mm. I use the Gates 7430 for power steering and 7435 for the alternator-water pump regularly with excellent results.

If it's a half-inch belt...our system is set up for 3/8, which is why the auto-parts crossreferences tend to come out short. Otherwise Gates make excellent belts.
