That'll be this sort of thing? I see the seller is listing different widths too.

Temporary repair IMHO, used them years ago with an engine with a dynamo but on an alternator working hard? If you disconnect the pump drive you could tie back a second belt for a future repair. I did do this on a machine once but did not realise that the spare belt had come adrift plus a bit of oil contamination meant that it was U/S anyway.
