sourcing zetec e timing belt
Hi guys, anyone recommend a source for cambelts, haven't tried local motor factors yet, but from ebay it looks like a £75 item.
Also any difference between black top and silver top cambelts.
cheers guys, Ed.

DO NOT SPEND £75 on a timing belt! Even Burton Power are knocking them out for around £30
Black Top Link
Silver Top Link
I " think " the lengths differ?

ok ... is it the fact the ebay ones include new idler pulleys that they're so much more expensive, haynes recommends changing these as a matter
of course, but then haynes says a lot of things...

I spent the money on a full kit... belt, idler, tensioner and bolts. You really want to be thinking at 6500rpm maybe I should have changed the plastic
guides.......
It only takes another 5 mins to change the guides once the belt is off too many times you hear of guides failing after a belt change.
IMO, do the lot, its done and dusted.
ETA - I got mine from the loacal motor factors... I get discount there so prob doesnt help alot

Anyone going slower than you is an idiot. Anyone going faster than you is a maniac.
Too many targets but too few bullets.
