Thanks Pete but I specifically want to use the Goodyear and parts geek don't do it. I could order it from Amazon if I only knew the length. Does anyone have an old belt they could measure for me? Save me taking the belt off mine.

Is the goodyear better in some way? I might consider it instead of the conti I usually buy when I do mine next

I highly doubt it. I purchased a starter off Amazon for $110 bucks and it was the exact same starter sold by Porsche dealers for $1362 and sold by Bosch for $390. I guarantee that Goodyear belt is a rebranded belt sold by many other outlets.

Maybe it is the same as sold by others relabeled, but I don't think so. In my past (non-Porsche) experience, the Gatorback belts have a different ribbing than the plain jane 6 rib belts. Like diagonal sipes running across the face of the ribs. I ran one on a supercharged rally car and liked it.

DB Joe I sent off for a Goodyear one from your posting. Expecting it to arrive early this coming week. I missed the goodyear link which you posted the first time I read it. Thanks for reminding me.

I have used Dayco belts for many years, and have never had a problem and they last a long time. This is one of the first things I will do when I buy a car is get rid of the junk that was on there and get the Dayco for it.
