Hello folks,
Here's what I've learned:
The belts are 63.5in x .0380in (AKA 63 5/8 x 3/8).
AMGEN part # is 12339359-12
Deyco part # is 15635
NAPA/Kraigen can get the 15635 one ($19 a piece). However, these are NOT
matched sets. There are no other manufacturers that NAPA/Kraigen can get it
from, and they are not aware of anybody who makes matched sets.
HOWEVER, Kascar has the 12339359-12 set of 2 (matched set) for $19.62. And I
just ordered a set.
Matched sets are supposed to be cut from the same piece of original
material, right next to each other to make them as close as possible in
strength and other properties (and length too!).
The tension difference between the two belts in the set should not exceed 20
lbs (90N). The tension on new belts should be 105+/-5 lbs, old belts 90+/-5
lbs.
Hope that helps somebody someday.
Vadim.
