Those prices seem pretty reasonable. As for the US belt, is it anti-static/oil & heat resistant? You can get standard belts alot cheaper, but if they last a few hours on a lawnmower they've done well.

Steve thanks,

Blimey, I tried Carmarthen Farmers, ACT, Gethin Beynon & a couple of others today & all reported no Vee belts, so I gave up & just ordered two from RS!! I have just found James number in the Yellow pages, so thanks for the tip ( I work with a chap from Crymych ) I'll remember next time
