All of a sudden I could go all the way to the end of that bolt and it wasn't tight enough. I actually went to my local hardware store and bought a way longer bolt and had a friend finish the die at the top since the treads only went 90% up the bolt.
The only slipping I had was on the original Dayco belt from Jackson. I have to be honest the bolts and belt are complete CRAP!
Also I'm not going to lecture you, BUT cutting a belt is idiotic. Find the right belts, never cut them. I know, I know, "but Jimmy Jackoff said it's ok". I don't care, it's wrong; any way you cut it. Ha ha, get it, cut it.
I lol at people around here sometimes with their shortcuts. It's not worth it. Tighten it down more or get a longer bolt and a 7 rib belt. I have spare 62.2 7 ribs if you need one.
