FTO belts supplier

Post by Black_FTOGPX »

Hi Guys,

Just letting you know that the supplier of the original belts in the FTO was a company called Mitsuboshi Belting Ltd (No that’s not a typo)

Someone may want to check out their pricing of timing belts, etc.

They also have branches all around the world. (I don’t think in Australia though)

Pretty sure its Gates in Australia (OEM Belt manufacturer) who can supply all belts for the FTO... Unique actually had them come out and measure them up some years ago... they are like 140-150.00 ...

I could be wrong but I thought that gates didn’t have the exact size belts for the AC +PS and alternator belt, as everybody I have talked to said they could only get the next size over or next size under. (Does not really matter too much, anyway).

As for the Timing belt they do have the exact size needed.

Just thought that maybe there was a chance this company might have them for even cheaper.
