"I got mine from NAPA auto parts for $42. It's part # K061247
and if they give you problems tell them it's in their Kentucky
distribution plant or have them call Laura at gates..."

a good, reliable source.

I looked far and wide for that part number. The only place I found it was at a local (350miles away) Ford Racing dealer. For about $120CDN...

Let me know if the Napa thing works!

GROUP BUY GROUP BUY.....

I will sign up to buy one. I wanted an extra for a while, but havent gotten one. I called a few parts shop locally and told them the part number and to call Gates directly and they blew me off. Too much work I guess

I have about 14k miles on my original Whipple belt with no issues.

Dont know if it helps or not but I love my Thumprr tensioner too. Helps me sleep at night. Bent tensioner = Royal PITA.

They are a bit hard to find, but a small parts store in my area can get them for about $36, plus $10 for the shipping. I don't know if they will shipped them to your location, but you can try. The name of the shop is Eastover Auto Supply in Oxon Hill, Maryland. Their phone number is 301-839-5772. Ask for Paul or Wayne, if they need help remembering tell them the guy with the orange and black Mustang special ordered them. The part number is K061247. I paid $86.09, total, for two.

They are a mustangforums vendor. I've bought from them before, will buy from them again. Good service, good people. I don't know what belt is being supplied. Just thought I'd pass the info along for anyone who is interested.
Ok is anyone sure 100% this is the right belt? It is only $25 from them.
