Gates it's one of the best belt companies...

What it's happening? Your belt snaps?

what size belt do you need - club g40 can supply some.

well my belts were snapping but that was due to razor sharp alloy pullies, changed the kit and it stripped them, but i think this is due to them been over tightened by the garage. im glad this belt will last, 1000 8m is the size and every local'ish belt place ive been to dont do 1000 length. but hopefully il be on the road again tomorrow, its been two months! and its my daily!

These belts are all made to an ISO standard for industrial applications; no HKS or Greddy I'm afraid. Gates are industry leaders though so you won't get better. Just set the tension to a 90 degree twist on the run from the charger to the crank pulley and all will be well. I'm running a Gates 1040.
