All the pulleys have not been altered and I've bought the same length belt that was previously installed. So like you say why is it so tight to change. I'll give it a go like you mentioned, with the alternator in hand, put the belt on and try to go from there. If it doesn't work, I'll also buy a 835 or 850 and give it another shot. Cheers.

Hi, started my engine up for the first time today, after fitting new water pump and radiator. I did have to buy a 835mm belt to get it set up with the right tension. I tried to give it a little throttle, when the pedal fell to the floor with a crunching sound.
The cable, had frayed and been ruined. I think the throttle mechanism had stuck closed and damaged the cable when I tried to move it.
I have ordered a new 1275 1990 - on cable but not sure best way to go about it, are they just simply. Take the old one out and swap it? And help and tips would be appreciated. Thanks.
