Source for Gates belts?

[DSG2003Mach1]

figured I'd throw it out there and see if there was somewhere I wasn't aware of. I usually get my green belts on Amazon but they either don't have the size I need or it's like 2 weeks out. They still seem to be the best price for now.

In particular looking for K081099HD (wouldnt mind trying a non HD to see if it grips better but haven't ever seen one in stock if there is such a thing)

I’ve always gotten mine from NAPA

most parts houses want around $100 for the belt. A couple places, including amazon, have me in the $50-$60 range but shipping is crazy from some of them. Amazon seems like the best option but figured Id check. I was saving at least $30-$40 each when I had the K081092

Ahh, okay I gotcha. I can’t say I’ve ever really shopped around to much. I just paid for it, probably my downfall if I’m honest. On a side note my buddy’s dad owns a shop that is partnered with NAPA so he always got me discounts.

I always buy my belts from LMR :/…I’m an LMR fanboy though.

I recently ordered a Gates black belt and it took about two weeks to get. I haven't run the green belt in a while so I haven't looked into it.

Odd tidbit, I swapped belts because my old one was a couple years old. The new belt is the same length and put the tensioner dead center. But I had some boost loss and belt slip according to my logs. I tightened up the idler a little and put the tensioner on the tight side and saw full boost on my last datalog. Weird stuff.

interesting. Nothing on mine is adjustable and I was dumb and kept the single bolt tensioner cover... I haven't even put the car on the dyno because I dont wanna get mad when I see the boost log.

awesome. I had put the part number in there the other night while ordering other parts before making this thread and it wasn't pulling anything up. Must have been some kind of hiccup

I have had issues on there before looking for HD and RPM belts for my setup. I usually leave off the suffix and just search for the dimensional part. Seen them listed incorrectly under the standard part number too.
