Default One Stop Shopping For Drive Belts?

Any one source for drive belts? I’ve looked at the recommended sites and the belts are almost a after thought. Not my picture attached but the set up I need. 1970 Type 2 2x2

I have a list of Gates belts and hoses on my site, but the belts are good for '69, as the bracketry changed in '70. The way I compilted this list is to take the old belts to my local parts tore, and let them measure them up. Once you know the sizes, they can be readily matched to modern belts.

Good idea! I was just planning on spares for longer trips and was curious why the different vendors are so hap-hazard with their on line catalogs. No one vendor I have found has them listed by “XKE Type” or even carries 1/2 of them needed.

A great idea! I'm currently getting ready to (re)install AC in my 73 OTS, so I'll have all the belts out. I now plan to do this. Where is your site?
