What belt is everyone running now. I know the Gatorback is no longer available
What belt is everyone running now. I know the Gatorback is no longer available
I just picked up a set of double bearing Metco's......they seem to be offset quite a bit forward, toward the front of the car, compared to my old billetflows. I know they're wider bc of the extra bearing...that's not what i'm talking about.
You guys running double Metco's, did you have to shim anything out? I've also read about people shaving down the rear of the Metco's mounting surface to have them mount a little further back for better belt alignment.

I agree they definitely seem to sit "forward" so that the back of the belt is closer towards the edge, but they are also made to work with 10 rib setups, so it just appears to have an incredible amount towards the front of the car which isn't being used. If you were to compare it to any other standard width pulley, which would have the same "minimal" coverage front and rear, I think you'll find the coverage towards the back of the belt acceptable.
