Gates Fleet Runner Belts

[Fu Manchu]

I'm trying to find these to suit my Oct 05 Cross8. Same as SS.
So I have dipped my toes into the mystical world of figuring out belt codes.

The Aussie Gates website blocks viewing the Fleetrunner reference guide.
I'm using the US site.

The normal belt is 6PK1995 for accessories & 4PK1100 for the AC belt

I measured the old belt with tape around the outside, then laid it on the ground and measured it at 2015mm. (Stretched?)
The AC belt measured at 1100mm.

I take it that the 6 is number of ribs, the PK is rib type (?), the 1995 is the belt length in mm? (inner diameter?)

I can only assume the belt required would be 6PK1995HD (HD is the Heavy Duty prefix for the Fleetrunner?)

yes 6PK is the number of ribs and style of ribs, the other is the length, if its like there blue racing belts then they are stronger, check to see where your tensioner is as the shorter may be better

Is it belt length in mm?

 

[07GTS]

yes mm length, i have an old VS belt i have cut and use to run thru any new pulley setups i do just to get the right length then lay it out and measure, i think they may include a little strech in it as when i fit them they are usually tighter on first fit

Looks like the one on the car when I bought it was stretched 20mm. It is the correct belt. I measured it twice at that measurement. Thanks for this.

Spot on
6 - number of ribs ( for her pleasure)
PK - belt profile type
1995 - length.


Wait until you have to try and figure out AC Delco belt codes...

And this makes no sense to me.

The 13A.... code is for a standard V belt with the 13 being the outside width of the belt in mm

I couldn’t get Fleetrunner Belts at all. I did manage to get the Blue Gates belts instead. They arrived yesterday.
