who does the best deals on these?preferably gp a belt,please dont say ford as my local dealer dont know his arse from his elbow

 

wait till national day, there will be plenty of people doing good deals there.

look to pay £50- £60 for the pair.

 

Might be able to get em from here, www.cosworth.com

 

woodford sell them too!

 

Woodford did have a deal on them.. 60 for the pair i believe

 

I got mine off Matt at ML, cheap aswell

 

yeah woodford do a standard belt for £37.50 and tensioner for £32.

 

£59.95 from woodford for both items week before last.

 

Group A...
You will find that its a YBO200 part number which is in fact... wait for it.....




















A std cambelt by gates..

Or even a 58144.... which is.. wait for it..




















The same cambelt with a Gates own part number on it

 

ill get a gates one then thanks stu+and all else who replied

 

The Grp A belt is twice as thick as std and does give you alot more confidence I went to Mountune for mine and cost £35 for it....and it came with mountune plastered over the belt..which was nice

 

Phil if it was twice as thick it wouldnt fit

What im saying is 99% of traders selling a "Group A" belt are selling a standard item and it will come beautifully adorned with one of teh above part numbers

 

They must be a better composition otherwise you might aswell use a ford standard one.......

Al...

 

And their name for the show-off blingers

 

Stu to me it looks twice as thick

I got my 1st Grp A from my local Ford Dealer and was a Gates one after he showed me the std one which looked like you could tear it in half.

 

According to Mountune the Gates known Grp A one in which they use on all there YB engines are much more heat resistant over the std one

 

Dearest Philipa,
I do indeed know the difference between the various drivebelts, having sold them for many years....

What im saying is...
Oh.. ive already said it...

 

Wot are ones with Piper Cams written on then Stu.

 

Well Woodfords sell the thicker one as the Grp A so do Mountune and Ford Motorsport.

We all know they aint "officially" a Grp A belt and are in fact if i recall correctly a range rover or land rover std belt?????BUT they are used for Motorsport hence the "grp a" name.

 

Dunno Stretch ive never pealed their sticker off it TBH...

 

Stretch your find they are all the Gates "grp a" cambelt but with there own logo on.

 

Has anyone on here ever had a std cambelt break then out of interest?

 

Stu...its an in the mind thing mate

When i asked for a cambelt from Ford and it came out looking like you could tear it i said NOOOOOOOO i aint using that.....of course the one on my car when i bought it was the grp a belt so i had to replace it with the same meatier looking belt.

Be warned dont use the std belt on big turbo/bhp applications due to heat and possible std belt failure!

 

Are you daring to suggest Cosworth sell poor quality cambelts Phil?

 

Stu...YES for high BHP applications especially*
