Blower belts and pulleys I bought a kit of parts, to fit a V7 YSi to my LS1, using 50mm cogged drive.
Id like to have options of using around 9-14psi without slippage issues, Possibly more at a much later date.
As things stand, the belt supplied is too short. Its a Gates 50mm, 1600mm long.
I contacted Gates here in the UK, and they say the longest belt of that type is 1610mm.
I need a belt about 1635-1640mm long to get the correct belt path.
Does anyone know of a supplier of a longer belt that will work ??
Markings on belt are..
1600 8M 50 7 483DS, Gates, Made in UK
If another belt isnt available, is there a 8/10 or even a 12 rib setup available ??
Im using a powerbond crank pulley, which has 6 x 3/8" UNF fixings for additonal pulleys.

current configuration....insulating tape replaces SC pulley, as it wont fit on with that belt.

If the belt is fitted without tensioner, it is actually tight already and very very difficult to get on. It fouls the water pump pulley coming off the crank, and would also fould PAS pump nose.
