V-belts

[Fabulous50s]

What have you guys had good luck with for quality V-belts?

I can get the universal Bando A-43 etc. locally, but they look cheesy, seems no many companies offer decent V-belts anymore now that vehicles have gone to serpentine belts for the last 30 years.

Can't answer you question specifically, but are Gates still available for it?
When I replaced the serpentine belt on my 4.6 last year, I wanted Gates or (can't remember what I prefered and sorta found), I found what I was looking for on ebay. packaging and printing on belt was correct, so I ordered. Made in China. "trademark use by license to manufacturer" in small print on the package. I must also say, it's got 5k miles on it now and still looks great.

Found Dayco "Made in USA" locally after asking the right guy. Brought out a bunch with 1/4" of dust on them.
