Anyone know the local supplier of Continental Elite belts? Apparently they are the successor to the Goodyear Gator backs that are now squealing after 10 years. I can get them from Amazon, but would like local so I can do a wrench test for size. Finally, someone once made and sold a tension tool. Anyone remember who? I looked on Applied's site but didn't see it.

Thanks,

I can't find the Alternator belt either. It has disappeared!

Better price point is all. Tom's are hardened steel, created for the job
at hand.

Take your pick, live with the results. Watch out for that pinkie toe! :-)

Choice is terrific!
