Yoohoo / 3l220 belt

[j3d1]

Been searching and cant find anywhere that sells these online (or elsewhere) in the UK, can anyone point me in the right direction?
 
Thanks

I believe you can also use a classic mini fan belt, but need to confirm that

I got mine from ebay usa, think pineapple racing sell them also. I couldnt find one in the uk.

neh worrys bud, mine took ages to come think about five weeks so hopefully your not in a rush!

Which belt? I replaced my alternator belt with a BMW E30 M42 powersteering (or water pump) one earlier...

[TiddlesRX7]

I just got one from the local motor factors trade counter.

[1990_fc3s_t2]

its for the air pump removal goes from water pump to whatever pulley the air pump belt went, saves getting a double alt pulley.

yeah i only looked online, probably get it cheaper from motor factors, i paid about £13 inc postage.

[TiddlesRX7]

Oh right. I went the dual alternator pulley route.

Sh*t the bed, how long? According to ebay the belt was dispatched yesterday, I\'m hoping to have it for the weekend.

[1990_fc3s_t2]

yeah i wouldnt worry then if its been dispatched already.
I seem to have bad luck when buying anything from the us through ebay, last time i got an fcd that never came an i only got half my money back, then six months later he messages me an says its just turned up on his doorstep, then he said he\'d send it back for like $30 or something, i kindly refused and eventually got my money back!:D

Just fitted my belt and it was a pain to say the least so i did a search on rx7club to get a bit of inspiration and found a few people had trouble getting the thing over the pulley.

This was really easy and took 30 seconds, just get a 17mm (i think) socket on the main pulley and turn the engine with your right hand and ease the belt onto the pulley with your left hand like a bike chain, slips right on.

Job done!:rollin

once its on is the tension enough to stop the water pump from slipping? im going to order a belt from pineapple racing.

[1990_fc3s_t2]

Don\'t know as i can\'t start my car till i get a battery and some oil in the gearbox,
It looks like a perfect fit with hardly any deflection and it\'s not too tight.  :Thumbs-up

[j3d1]

sweet, I\'ll be fitting mine when it turns up. Only thing I was a bit concerned about was it being an un-tensioned belt, but it the fit is good then should be a problem.
