Default Flip Drive parts help!

Has anybody had any luck buying parts for the Cartek Flip Drive? I have the main brackets and pulleys, but am missing bolts, belts, and power steering line. I have tried emailing, calling, and facebook messaging Cartek for a few weeks with no luck...

Does anybody know what hardware is needed? belt sizes, or how to get the power steering line, I would greatly appreciate it.

That's strange as I have had good luck contacting them. As far as the power steering hose, just have a hydraulic shop or car parts store make you one. Most times the one in the kit, the fittings are not clocked right. I have the belt sizes written down at home I can post them tonight.

I would greatly appreciate the belt sizes. I finally found a post last night that showed a high pressure hose with 6an fittings and two adapters. I ordered those so hopefully they are correct and work.

No problem. I dont remember the details on the bolts but the 2 on the alternator are metric allen headed and you also have to cut the pulley mount off the alternator/ps bracket. Some people have squealing belt issues and such but I have about 6000 miles on mine without a sound.

Update: Cartek still refused to sell me the missing parts, so with trial and error, i pieced it together myself.

upper alternator bolts are Allen M10-1.5 x 130mm
The spacer needed is 7/8"-1"... I bought a long one and cut it down to size.
The lower bolts are also M10x1.5 short concave head bolts
power steering line needs to be 18" long.

Belts given above were spot on, thank you
