Alternator belts won't stay tight 200 1983

I purchased a new matched set of alternator belts several months ago, shortly after I bought my 83 240. The problem I am having is that they keep loosening up after every couple hundred miles. I am tightening up the bolt on the alt as much as possible without the risk of breaking it. At first I thought the belts may have just stretched, but it keeps recurring. Any ideas?
