After someone on here posted a random gates part number but no info about the stock 3.0t belt, i contacted gates and was sent to this page:
http://navigates.gates.com/AddedValue.aspx?PartNumber=K060766A
Now that we actually have belt specs, we can find a replacement that doesn't require going to the dealer.
Material EDPM, Aramid Cord
OE Comparison Rating OE Exact
Section K
Number of Ribs 6
Top Width (in) .807
Top Width (mm) 20
Outside Circumference (in) 77.25
Outside Circumference (mm) 1962
I did a search through Dayco to find something close and came up with:
5060770
Rib Profile W Profile
Metric Part 6PK1955
Effective Length (in) 77.10
Top Width (in) 0.82
Thickness 0.17
No. of Ribs 6
Rib Depth Standard
Compound EPDM, Aramid Reinforced
Backside Material Rubber
It's about a tenth of an inch shorter and wider. I'm wondering if this will help keep the belt in place since they have a greater tendency to get thrown when they wear and stretch in length. Also, the cost is about $16 and available from many vendors. Thoughts?
