After-market cam belt...good idea?

Post by SilentBob »

Got a quote from Bitza Mitsa(the NZ Place that sells Mitsu parts worldwide, gives discounts to ftooc.org members etc etc), and they quoted me a price ona couple of after market parts, being the Cam belt and the tensioner...
These are after market brands(Cambelt being a Gates brand and the tensioner a Camellia one).....
the price is about 1/2 of what it would cost to buy them locally from a mitsu dealer(in that i can get both these parts, shipped..for less than a cam belt from mitsu in sydney)


Anyone else had experience with aftermarket cam belts on the fto?
