OT: Where to get poly-V belts, Only slightly off topic. Options

[fiid]

Watts and I need this for our bastard subaru children.

Its a Metric poly-V belt - 27 inches/686mm long, with 5 ribs - "PK" spec. I've searched all over the net and can only find manufacturing supplier that want me to call and order 10,000,000zillion of them.

Any ideas?

Fiid.

Man - I am in a crappy mood today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Nothing to do with this though - just had to get that out.

I went to Kragen's yesterday. Honestly, I dare not ask them about a belt of a specific size - the people in my local store are such a pathetic waste of space - if you don't have a year, make and model you are completely SOL. I tried to get the Fan switch yesterday for the radiator - and some plug wires. I guess I'm going to have to get two sets of escort wires so that I have 4 long ones - they just shrug their shoulders if you ask about being able to get anything but a pre-boxed set. The fan switch is something they have to special order. Nothing particularly unexpected I guess, but I will net-net save myself a lot of time by ordering my stuff online.

My reason for asking this question was if someone knew of company that has a decent online store where you can specify a belt and see products like it. MSC Direct does havet this feature, but they don't seem to sell metric belts. grrr.

I realised that running the PS pump is a bit of a hack, and I was persuaded by the thread to find the smaller belt and run that with just the alternator.
