I would like to replace the main drive belt on my SH as there looks to be fraying in some of the reinforcing threads. Does anyone know where I can buy a new Gates 800-8MGT-85 belt? GBA hasn't responded to my queries and the one place I found to order it online stopped carrying them recently.

Thanks!

Marc

Hi Marc,
I found this company on ebay and they were very helpful and reasonably priced. They are from the Czech Republic and they sent me a German made Optima belt which seems to be good quality although I haven't used it yet.
Their email address is;
ebay@bohemiaseal.cz

I ordered a new belt from Motion Industries today. A tad under $100 and should arrive tomorrow.

Thanks!

Marc,
If you ask them for the super duper discount, it should be around $70 bucks.
I asked our parts buyer from work to get a quote from Motion and it was under $40! But when I called them to order it, he said that was "Georgia Pacific price, it's going to be more for you."

You guys are so lucky in the US (in some ways) as our market here in Oz is about one twentieth the size, and we are also an island (admittedly a big one but that doesn't help) in the Pacific and we're at the mercy of the agents for these products, like drive belts etc.
Thank goodness for the internet!
I thought I was getting a bargain at $110-00 USD delivered from the Czech Republic for the drive belt.
$298-00 AUD here in Oz depending who you buy from, and the Oz dollar is worth something at the moment as well.
