Steering Belt

Having some probs sorting the steering on my 4E'd Sera. I got the correct reservoir-pump pipe this week, but the steering is still a bit stiff, particularly when turning sharply.
Now at the moment I have a 1080mm PS (and A/C) belt on (original Sera one), but even at the top of the adjuster arm I can still turn it 180degrees on the straight part.
As far as I know the Starlet belt is also 1080mm so I wonder why its still so loose. Can they stretch over time?

Anyway more to the point, if I get a shorter belt that will allow me to adjust the p/s pump down a couple of cm, will this help the gravitry feed from the reservoir and improve the performance of the steering?

People at parts dealers can search for belts by number of peaks and lengths.

Just buy one with the same amount of peaks, that's 10mm shorter :)
