    6 rib serp belt 126" long

    I really really need to find one. The longest I can find is Gatorback that is 120".
    Does anyone know where I can find one OR can I get a custom one made?

    thanks,
    allen

    Allen, You could get a gates 71247 which is a 7 rib 125 5/16" long belt and cut 1 of the ribs off with a razor blade. I had a friend check his San Antonio warehouse and he said he would have to special order the belt from Gates but you could probably do the same. 120 seems to be the longest in a 6 rib.

    I was just trying to help Allen out. I didn't think I'd get disrespected for it.

    I don't think he was disrespecting you - I think he was serious - lol.

    Sometimes the simplest solutions are the hardest to think of...

    Is their any kind of reinforcement (threading) running through the belts that might compromise the integrity if it's cut?

    i was being serious, i was talking about this with allen and different ways to deal with it.
    we came up with smaller pulleys, maybe even have one cnc made, and chopping down the ac bracket to bring it in closer to fit a shorter belt, im not kidding, ask allen LOL

    I might try that, I did find that belt from summit, but it was an 8rib

    thanks a lot, I'll try that and see how it works out.
