KAD300 - Replacement circulation belts (Non Genuine for spares)

[alt]

Hi all,
I tend to use genuine belts (and most other things) however I always like to have fresh spares just incase.

I have always been able to get Gates belts locally, but the shop just replied stating that they cannot source the circulation belts in Gates.

I replaced one of my circulation pumps last year, so I actually use 2 different sized belts (OCD is killing me, but i'll deal with it another time).

The 2 Gates belts I require are:
7PK910
7PK925

Googling doesn't show much results, it's as if Gates have stopped making them.

Any ideas? I know this is more of a question for a general motor forum, but thought i'd check incase anyone is in the same situation.

Why not keep used removed VP belts as emergency spares?

7pk920 is a common size. Do you not have the adjustment to use this in place of the two different ones?

I do, but I always like to have a fresh set.

I'm pretty sure I do for the compressor, but if I recall, the circulation is a tight fit (ie. when you tighten up the tensioner). I'm tempted to purchase one and see if it'll fit... cheers.

I've ordered a 7PK920 out of curiosity - If it works i'll report back.

N..... I used to use Gates 7PK920 on my 43s... fits fine.
