Piper Cams do a wider belt for around thirty quid, I think it is about 6mm wider than standard

cheers Steve,

Ill try the local motor factor this week and see if they can get that number belt.

I assume the belts are all the same for 3dr/2wd/4x4? Just its got a 200 block thats all.

anyone know the number for the 'group A' belt?
