M20 Gates Racing Belt Coming Soon.....

[doktor_b]

Yeah apparently the belts so far are made to Order (2 to 3 weeks) well that info was from FCP Euro. Not sure if thats what GATES intends to do with these belts or not or if companies are just testing the waters with these belts for the time being...

yeah, definitely got an email from FCP almost immediately after i ordered the belt saying it was going to be 2-3 weeks.

so we'll see how it looks in 2-3 weeks.

I know I placed my order for a couple of them hehe... :)

On another note I basically emailed all these companies informing them of the new product availability of the T131RB and that they are are special order and if they would like to carry them in their lineup then to contact the Gates marketing/Sales division

I'm going to contact my friend over at FCP and see what happened, he told me they were getting them "in stock" not made to order...

Jared,

Thanks for the inquiry. The belt is made to order and would be about a 2-3 week turn around time before it can ship. Let me know how you would like to proceed.


Thanks

I really feel as if GATES may be waiting too see the popularity of the belt or for supplier NEW and OLD to step up and order 25, 50, or 100 belts at time...

I emailed all those companies above some of which have responded saying they have sent emails regarding this to their wholesale division that handles GATES belts so we'll see... I'm sure I'll get more responses on monday.

Probably placed a huge order lol hence why they can offer them at $5 cheaper than most places thus far...

[TehRaydarlover]

Nearly the same price as a genuine stock belt?! That's awesome! Ordering two!
