oily Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 These are apparently an 'odd' size, in that normal manufacturers make the same cross-section belts, i.e 22x14 mm, (or 'C' Section, as they are known, in the trade), but they don't make them small enough dia. The fan drive ones are 835mm, and the hydraulic ones are 1010mm. Two local bearing/belt suppliers suggested that the 'link-belt' type product can be used, and will out last any normal belt, but this would cost in region of £250-odd.... Surely someone has some the correct size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They supply to military users of Saracens around the world. regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyroo Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I would not advise buying NOS. I've had a lot of problems in the past with belts that have been in starage for 30/40 years. At best they last a year. Better to buy new. I get all my belts from BSL ( http://www.brammer.co.uk ) in Derby. They do the correct length for the Saracen including the hard to get belt for the hydrolic pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oily Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 ? My local branch of BSL, say they can't get any of them, except maybe the triple alternator belts that mine has.... Banister has them all, new and delivered for ,£52.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
