    gates racing timing belt and a blue V belt

    I was wondering if you guys knew the cheapest place to get a Gates Racing timing belt for the dohc 1.8, and if you guys have ever got a blue colored V belt for the alternator to match?

    My car doesn't have power steering, or A/C, so I ran a piece of tape around the pulleys and came up with 34 1/2" -36 1/2" so a 35-36" belt should fit about right on the pulleys. They're all 1/2" wide pulleys, and I can't find any in the gates brand, I'm probably just not looking at the right distributor, which is where I hope you guys can help me.

    If anything, the local TSC has Huskee brand V belts for mowers in 35" for 12$ I figure I could at least try. For that price I won't feel bad if it breaks on me.

      I think 'gates racing' and 'gates' are two different companies, my local place has gates belts, but theyre listed as OE spec and black in color, the blue gates racing belts claim to be better made than OE.

        I blieve they're the same company. It's like dodge and the srt line. Same company just better.
