Slightly different setup as mines a Defender. When I fitted a 100 amp alternator I relocated it above the timing case and made a simple bracket with a M6 threaded rod to tension the belt.

I had considered that, a lot of the secondary alternators mount there so it was a consideration but does not seem cheap and is a lot more work to diy than a simple turnbuckle so will try that first
Most v belts are either 3/8 10mm wide, or 1/2 inch 13mm wide, you want the 3/8 10mm wide version, so all you need is the length is normally printed on the belt, for example 10x 765 meaning 10mm x 765mm length.
Made a simple bracket, that mate is a work of art

That was my first thought. My sort of simple bracket is a bit of flat bar hammered over in the vice.Made a simple bracket, that mate is a work of art
