I am looking for (2) 16 rib x 61" blower belts. BBC with B&M 250 blowers and Superchillers. I am trying to make the LOTO shootout and can't find these belts anywhere!! I need help!!

I went threw the same thing looking for belts for my 250. I could not fin anything anywhere. Here are the places that I remember calling that had 16 rib belts just not my size

Tyler Crockett Which is where I found 2 of what I needed
Arizona speed and marine
Teague
The blower shop

The two that I did find were dayco belts. Not sure if you could call there and give them a measurement and they could match it. I just called every little marine place I could find that built engines. If they didn't have one I just asked them where they thought I could find some. Good luck hope you find some.

Blower Drive Service

Thanks for the names of places to call but I guess I'm SOL. I called them all and nobody has any 61" belts. Hard to believe.

Are you sure it is 61? In the Blower Drive catalog you look up your application and it list the belt first in length center to center, than according to how many total teeth the top and bottom pulley add up to. Another chart in their catalog does show the length and the total number of teeth on the pulley itself. They do not show 61" at all. Seems odd that if your application was supposed to use a certain measurement that they wouldn't at least list it.

Sorry, post above meant to say another chart shows length and total number of teeth on the BELT.

Ah, my bad...........sorry. I was so focused on the fact that I just bought belts from BDS with no problem I read your post and the words 16 rib went right over my head. After hitting post I was like "oh 16 rib"! BDS does not have 16 rib at all that I can see. How about the various automotive supercharger companies? Pro Charger comes to mind. For that matter doesn't Whipple use ribbed belts?

Yes Pro Charger and Whipple both use rib belts but not 16 rib nor in a 61" length. Teague are the only guys that even carry them and they are out of stock and back ordered on them. I guess no chillers for me this season. It's really sad having thousands of dollars worth of parts on a shelf I can't use. I never thought finding belts would be such a problem.

call this place,,they use to make our kevelar belts for the race car years ago..they have a bunch of options.

Well I have tried all the leads you guys have given me but still no belts available. Just thought I'd bring this thread TTT for one last try. Hoping maybe some body new will see it that may have them or other places to try. Thanks again in advance.
