US Supplier Recommendation
Discussion
just ordered and received within 48hrs 3 x Gates K061010 belts as recommended for use with the Magnacharger installation from a US supplier - www.rockauto.com
Havent worked it out exactly in UK money yet but belts were around 18$ US each, then carriage and VAT which they handled up front so no extra rip off handling charge when package arrived made the total around 110$ US - guessing about 25 quid a belt all in with the current state of the pound vs dollar. Couldn't find any UK listed stockists on the web but reckon that wasn't too bad and I've now got a couple of spares as well as the one I need for getting my charger fitted. One for the boot seems to be the recommendation based on others experience in here.

Next one to track down is the rear belt on the charger itself which is a 22". Search I did for that came up with about 4-5 hits worldwide. I'd emailed Magnacharger themselves but they never replied
Got my replacement hoses for the intercooler from a UK firm www.kiowa.co.uk who were very reasonable. Just need to track down the Adel clamps for the pump and they are proving awkward as most places only stock them up to 20-30mm diameter and I need something more in the lines of 100-120mm iirc.
btw Beeline website appears to be broken, dont get anything when I click on the Gates link

I found the Gates site useless...
I emailed Beeline and got a prompt response.
The last supplier I used for belts ( Fell Arthur and Bennett ) appears to have dissappeared....
But a belt is a belt.....any decent supplier should be able to get replacements for both.
You just need to know the length, and tooth pitch etc
