Gatorbacks

Hi, am visiting the States for a holiday shortly - where can I pick up a 'gatorback' belt for my C5 from (of the shelf)

Hi, flying into Houston and then driving wherever the sun is shining. Would guess we will go to Dallas, Austin etc. Was hoping to catch up with a few Corvette meets, cruises etc.

If you aren't dead set on a gatorback belt...Carquest carries both belts for the C5...I have them on mine and have no complaints whatsoever.
Part Number K060798 for accessory drive belt ($30.49 here in CT)
Part Number K040420 for the a/c drive belt ($19.39 here in CT)
Total w/sales tax is $53.05

There are quite a few Carquest locations in Austin...

Hope this helps...

I couldn't find any, local
Maybe a goodyear store could order one in for you, overnight

I tried for a few days: would have been easier to order the belt on day #1 of looking

Rockauto is pretty cheap...

PS. I tried a new belt from advanced auto: continued to squeek: didn't help
