Use good quality German belts, not Gates !  See my <www.frankcondelli.com/sales.htm> "Belts" for the listing of the German made belts I sell with their OEM sizes.

       Please note that I will be away from my business travelling from November 01 until April 30, 2012.  Parts orders will be processed although not as quickly as usual.  I will always be available for contact by E-mail.  If you phone your call will be addressed by Greg T. Brown here and he will either call you back or advise you to contact me directly by E-mail. Details of this adventure are on our Travel Blog: http://frankcondelli.com/travels/

Cheers,
