Gates Fan belt
After reading the responses to Evan NPG+ Collant and what a Gates fan belt would do I have been looking for the Gates belt. I can't seem to find any listed in the catalogues I have. Would someone please list the part number for these belts and what distributor might have them. I realize I will need to measure the size I will need. Thank you.

Re: Gates Fan belt
Just talked to Lang's and they do not carry them any longer. Any more suggestions will be appreciated.

Re: Gates Fan belt
Try NAPA. They carry Gates. There are 3 lengths commonly associated with Ts. 30", 31" & 33 3/4". One of these is Gates number 819 -- maybe the NAPA fellows could start from that & the size you need. I will try to check a couple of cars in the barn & see if the numbers are legible --
The Gates belts work well. I have used serpentine belts on other cars with good success. Again NAPA can match the length & width you need. |

John: Thank you very much. I will call NAPA in the morning and keep rockauto.com in reserve. Also, like your car; the belt is going on a 23 "T" speedster.

Abbie, be sure it`s not too tight, it will eat the fan bushings pronto. Yes, I did.

Re: Gates Fan belt
Just returned from NAPA and they were unable to match a number with Gates 813. I went on line to rockauto.com and they had it and it has been ordered. Let's see what happens from here. Thanks for the help and the info on Rockauto; I will keep that for use again.

Re: Gates Fan belt
the flat gates belts were relisted as commercial belts a couple of years ago.
Some stores have a hard time getting them. Some warehouses have them but don't know it. Maybe they are listed as truck belts but I think it is commercial or industial. Try industial first. This is how they were listed last I bought some: 811 was 22 1/2 inches long by 1 1/8 inces wide. 813 26 3/4 814 31 1/2 822 36 inches long and 1 inch wide. They are no longer listed with the car belts, like you can't go to Ford and look under model T or by any year. At one time they were. I have also seen some cars with ting belts in-side-out running fans & water pumps on the T. |

Re: Gates Fan belt
Just an update on the Gates Fan belt. Lang's no longer has them, NAPA could not match it up with commercial, I have been waiting almost a month for Rockauto to deliver, they had allready charged my card with the order and they told me Thursday they could not get them. I have ordered one from O'Riley's and is suppose to be delivered in seven days. We will see.
