Belts have standard pitch as long you can get teeth count and pitch you will be able to get belts from 3part manufacturer as i did with lazer belts.

In theory, the length of 1 tooth is about 3mm long. This shouldn't be too much of a difference especially if you're using a tensioner on the front. As for the rear, I don't think you can adjust the tension on an 870c...unless you have the rpm rear bulkhead.

The prices seem pretty resonable for those parts...so the risk isn't too bad.

i do have the rear rpm difcase with adjustment will have to try them and let you know how they fit for the front one i thogh that if it was to long i could use 2 tensioner to tighten them let me know what you think of it.

does someone know where i could find more belts with the spec of them?

thanks frank

You might get away with the one tooth longer for the front and one tooth less for the rear quite easy: isn't your motor mount fixed to the chassis on long holes?
Otherwise, change the height of the tensioner, move it or add a second one.
The hotdog had 2 tensioners also; to guide the belt over the transverse mounted stickpack

no Mr. ed the motor mount is held in place with 3 screws and the holes in the base plate do not give adjustemt but the rear one i think it still avaleble does some one know where to buy it?
for the front one thats what i alredy thought to put 2 tensioner will see

frank

oops, you're right.
It's the rear bulkheads position that can be adjusted on some chassis for the correct tension on the rear belt

im selling some yoke belts in the BST area.
