Gates Fleet Runner Belts

[Lex]

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

Where they the right ones?

The green fleet runner are better for blowers but I find they are more suseptible to contamination after which they squeal. No amount of cleaning cures this. I have always had to buy them from the states.

i just use optibelt now with the blower, i wouldnt go back to a gates as ive had there strongest brake on me, see how long the optibelt lasts but i am 8pk now so also helps with strength

What size pulley you running?

Do you use a rewrap?

front blower is 80mm do have 75mm as well, i have 10% OD on the crank now and i also reconfigured the belt/tensioner so i get prob 80-90% wrap on the crank, using the harrop supplied wrap pulley that bolts to the water pump passenger side, im just painting up what i have done with the pulleys/tensioner/brackets ill have some pics up on my build when its getting together

Which pulley is causing the issue, I assume the 80mm pulley

So far my 6pk2250 belt seems to be wearing fine with a 85mm, although I've only done about 10k km on it

I do have a spare belt in the boot though, just in case

1993 instead of 1995. Should be fine.

Closest thing I’m going to get to a blower is not suitable for this time slot.

80mm is fine just fits, the 85mm wouldnt work on mine would contact the OTR, 75mm will be sweet, yep keep a spare belt in the boot already used mine back when it broke out on the freeway not good loosing all accessories, i use Optibelt truck power belt now which ill get a spare for just in case, last one worked well

I run the 75mm pulley with 8pk kit including re-wrap pulley, also up-rated tensioner. Never broken a belt, they just start to squeal annoyingly.
