For Charlie Cuss Jerry, =C2-=C2-=C2-=C2-=C2- Goodyear doesn't make replacement belts anym ore as that product line was spun off in 2007.

For Charlie Kuss Dear Listers ... I thank you all who responded to this subject matter. I learned plenty about the car, parts, factory made and "knock-off", tricks of the repair world and the good and sound practices of private repair shops (Charlie Kuss). There's a boat load of talent and experience on this List. My thanks to those who surfaced with their offerings and to the List for off topic stuff. Jerry "The RV-List ...

If anyone has these items laying about and would be willing to part with them shoot me an email with details.
