I am have been searching for a 117-118.5 inch long 10 rib belt. Not having much luck. 8 rib stuff the local store has 10 rib seems to be a bit odd.. :
)

Looked on Gates site no luck.

If I can't find the 10 rib to the correct length, I have a couple of options.

1) go to an 8 rib.
or
2) redesign the belt wrap, and drive the altenator differently.

 

I recently looked into belts when doing my research on 8 and 10 rib swaps and the longest belt I found in 10 rib was 111.5" and made by Gates. Neither Dayco, Bando nor Goodyear list any 10-rib belts over 100".

 

Yea, thats what I have seeing. Looks like I will be going with an 8rib, unless I can figure something else out.
Did you happen to know of any cog MFG's?

 

Sorry Rick, I wasn't specificly looking for cogs so I didn't pay a lot of attention to it. I know Dayco had a Top-Cog listed in their catalog but I think it was mostly small timing belts. For the length you are wanting in a cog, you may have to look into industrial belt manufacturers. Try Potomac Rubber and see if they have anything you can use.

 

thanks, looks like I will go with the 8rib stuff for now. If I run into belt slip then deal with it..

 

double sixes??? I was looking at a ZR1 blower and thought that double six rib belts would be better than the expense of 10ribs stuff. or like you said drive the alternator with a seperate belt.

 

i know of a place i can have custom belts made price is pretty bad (200 or so each) but have recently gotten them to do better deals but its through a friend and he is a pita to deal with . he did make this though , he had to have a few of this legnth belt made and then have a few different power steering pulleies made to fit the belt best .


how many belts where you looking for? i can put you in contact with him and you can see what he says. pm me for info.

 

Im not sure if they have what your lookin for but,I think Mcmaster Carr has serpntine belts in a handful of lengths and ribs.

 

LPE has one special made right around that length for their custom 2010 camaro 10 rib. Try giving them a ring

Not sure if this helps, I just remembered reading it the other day.

I'd call Innovaters West. If they are selling 10 rib kits you'd think they would have a belt for R&D.
