What size belt with a 17% pulley?

ALTA sells a belt for use with a smaller SC pulley, but I feel like I can do better than $37.

Does anyone know the exact belt that I would want to buy from my local auto parts store when replacing mine?

Thanks!

Alta gave me a Gates 60535 for my 17%. It's 1379mm long... you should be able to find whatever they carry based on the length.

Thanks, I found that exact belt online just now, but it's the same price as Mini Mania sells theirs. So I guess it was a useless question.

You could always try a different brand, but same size. It may be a bit cheaper.

Oreillys is showing a masterpro at 12.99. Just hit up your local place and tell them the size. It should be cheaper.

Yeah, that's true. Maybe I'll bring the measurement to Advance and see what they have.

Thanks for the info!

I use the 060532 belt size as well. The 060535 is too long and will slip at upper rpms. I had it and switched to the 532 and it felt much better.
