Urgent: alternator belt in the SW for S/C car.

[mechsympathy]

Hi Guys,
Thought I'd ask here as I have an MG ZTT with the 4.6 Mustang lump and a supercharger and the belt went last night. I've tried local auto factors and various companies that do Gates belts with no luck.

Anyone got any ideas of where else to try? I'm in Bristol so anywhere nearish would be good.

have you tried Halfrauds? as daft as it sounds they do stock a wide range of belts so might have what your looking for!

[odyssey2200]

are you talking about the normal poly V belt that drive the alternator etc or the blower belt?
assuming your blower is sat on the top and has a separate belt.

US Automotive in Bedford should be able to help..

they post first class, so it should be with you in less than 24 hours..

Cheers guys. One turned up from the tuner in Scotland on Saturday, it was the last one they had.

US automotive couldn't help, and neither could anyone else I found as it's a very long belt that drives all the ancillaries including the supercharger.

I'm going to source another spare from the states.

May be a bit late - but a good source for belts and many other mustang parts in the States is Summit Racing - http://www.summitracing.com/ - they post to UK and are very helpfull, informative and good on prices.

BTW - I find Goodyear Gatorback belts much more reliable and run quieter too!!!

Cheers.

Yea, the belt needs to be the one for specific charger - look at the number printed on your belt.
