12 Rib Belts

**Blown9SecStang** · 08-20-2004, 09:35 AM

Does anyone know where i can get a 12 Rib Belt other then from Procharger. They are a Gates belt but i've had no luck getting one even through a Gates dealer. They'll probably have to try to get it direct from Gates or i'll end up having to get it from Procharger. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I had my ProCharger I was able to get my belts from Napa.

Was it a Napa brand belt? Any part numbers?

It was a Gates P/N. I simply gave them the number off my belt and they looked it up and ordered it for me.

Well i went to NAPA today and they couldn't get me one!!!! I guess i'm stuck buying it right from Procharger!!!!

You could use 2- 6 rib belts though.

Maybe you should market 12 rib belts Ian?

I've already tried to use 2 6's and one of them went flying off!!!!

They probably stretched at different rates, or you have bracket flex and it makes the outer belt loose so it can work it's way off the end of the pulleys.
