At least 14 of those reads are me, coming back every time there's a post... sadly I have precisely 0 suggestions on where to buy them, though..  ;D

TB & KW advised me to buy mine from a dealer, said they wouldn't put anything else in their cars.

I think that was in the run-up to Newent when time was tight?

I'd be happy to use Gates, Contitech, SKF, etc.

Haven't bought one myself since the run up to the Telford meet so no idea which supplier is best.

Indeed, I have a Conti on my MV6, fitted by Gnome.  God only knows what Countess and Pinky have written on the belt though...

You'll find a chewed up pair of pink slippers behind the cam belt cover. ;D

Pink Croc's are the footwear of choice I believe.... well one as the other one was on a photographic tour of 'nearly Wales' that year!
