I used the belt on the left made by Goodyear from the Kragens down the street. $20. I did not try the more expensive Goodyear gatorback.

The first belt they gave me was way too long. The part number on the belt did not match the number on the cardboard sleeve, so it was easy to figure out the wrong belt had been put in the sleeve. Went back and got the correct belt.

Puttting the belt on took some effort because it is stiff when new. Seemed like it was a bit too short at first. But I got it on. You might have someone depress the tensioner all the way so you can use both hands to get the belt on.
