question Belts for sammell eka with rolls engine

[attleej]

Dear All,

 

The Rolls Royce part number I have used in the past is ST 81712 but unfortunately whilst it is recognised by Perkins it is no longer supplied and there is no alternative.

 

Has anyone worked out what to ask for from a transmission specialist, ie cross section and length?

 

Note that the manual states that it is very important that the belts come from the same batch of manufacture.

I used to wander into places like Bearing Services with sometimes the remnants of a belt or in exceptional cases a part no, and usually came away with what I wanted or some ordered. A phone call sometimes had the desired results especially with a part no.

Hi John,

It is many years since I was working on Crusaders, but re. belts, I would expect the belt to be made to a British Standard and probably in the B cross section, it would be just a matter of measuring the inside circumference and going to a local bearing supplier as already mentioned. The quote from the manual would be about ensuring they are matched lengths, the reasoning for them coming from the same batch.

 

I quite often get belts for some old and obscure military vehicle and come away with a suitable one, never tell them what it is for as they will immediately say 'no stock'!

 

regards, Richard

Although there isn't a forum, have you tried The Scammell Register?

Dear all, thanks for input, neither the ISPL number or the one John suggested came up. However, a close match which fits it is SPZ 1662 and you need 3 of them as it is not a banded belt.
