So you have a $70,000 car but won’t support one of the very few last vendors we have to order parts for our cars from by spending what they charge to get the part to you and would rather give it to Amazon? Got it....Developing some visible cracking along the inside serpentine belt ridges, so I was looking to find this part from third party but to no avail. I have the original straight-ridged belt, not the revised v-back/gatorback one introduced in ~2018.
There seems to have been minimal discussion about the 400's revised gatorback belt (Lotus part number C132E6533) - the only part numbers I can find for the revised V-back design (vs. just straight ridges on the old belts) are for the NA and S cars, and I'm assuming the belt length for the 400 is different due to the differing SC.
So, does anyone have an aftermarket (Goodyear? Continental?) gatorback serpentine belt part number for the Evora 400? I'm penny-pinching here, the part is $35 from lotuspartsonline.com but in this Amazon era I hate the idea of paying $15 for shipping. Thanks in advance!
Not picking trouble at all, just pointing out the obvious fact that you’re part of the issue with people starting to not support the last remaining vendors for parts for our vehicles by trying to find an already cheap part for cheaper, and that you’ll see no matter what way you go, OEM or AM, you’re gonna be in it $50 since shipping rates are elevated. Trying to save you some time by just telling to order the part you need cause you’re unlikely to find what you need for cheaper then that.Sorry, asking for parts info, not budget advice. Look for trouble elsewhere.
I also actually do want to know if there is a non-OEM equivalent as there has been for the NA and S belts because that info could be handy in the future. Thus the original ask - is there a non-OE equivalent for the OE gatorback belt?
Thanks for the suggestions!
