Default Fan Belt question for NZ Barners

I had a noise from the fan generator area and investigated and found my fan belt is torn. Do any of the the NZ barner have a local source for the big belt (Generator) on a 59a engine? or a part number for one that will fit?

thanks

Graeme,
They are a B section. Have the sizes of the 2 belts on white board at home. Will post them here when I get home later in the day.

Cool Phil been looking at Gates industrial B series from web search could be a 50 or 54 length look forward to your reply. Can get Gates belts on line from Bearing engineering supplies here in NZ

I use B52 if you want a stock looking belt.
BX52 is the cogged one with a bit better power transfer ratio.
The size can go up or down a bit depending on what shieve you have on the generator...but with the normar pulley for a 59AB the B52 works fine.

Just checked, I'm using a B50 on Genr and B34 on cooling fan.
I get mine from an old style Engineering Workshop at Oxford. They still store them off hooks at wooden rafters.
