certain Renault and Volvo engines use a 148 tooth timing belt with a width of 23mm on the face of it that sounds like a good upgrade for the Beta (19mm) if the tooth pitch is the same, anyone know? and is 23mm ok I know that guy croft does or used to do a 1 inch belt but don't remember if it required any mods? dayco part number is 94600 as opposed to 94064 for the fiat/lancia 2 litre belt. the Renault Volvo belt is used on cars with up to 204hp so should be well up to the job of a beta

IIRC for the Guy Croft 1" belt you had to fit wider flangeless cam pulleys and fit a flanged auxiliary pulley.

I heard conflicting reports I'm sure some folk use the 1 inch belt without mods if this 23mm belt fits it is actually a little bit narrower which may well be just right but I doubt we shall be so lucky somehow!

I found this on the mans site http://www.guy-croft.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1599&p=9728&hilit=belt

Might help though as ever with Guy it's oriented to those with pretty deep pockets.

well my spare engine has a flanged aux pulley and 29mm flangeless cam pulleys so assuming betas are all the same (ha! ha! Italian car not very likely) a wider belt is a definite possibility
