STOP... tell me more.
Since i got my first Saturno in the early 90s i was searching for an aftermarket product for this belt.
The belt was designed by Pireli with a very special pitch whic hi never found on another belt. Later on Pirelli gave the production in the hands of Dyco.
In those days i found a wholesale dealer who told me that he has good conections to the italian distributer. It would be an ease to get hands of this belts. At least he thought....
It tourned out, that Dayco was not allowed to sell the belt to others than Gilera dealers.
Meanwhile Gottfried Hahne appeared in the Gilera spare parts universe.
So no problem to get belts.
As Gottfried did not feel very well from time to time and he is somehow thinking to give up his shop, i decided to start a new try just before xmas.
Dayco meanwhile is listing the belt in their online catalog. Number is 94795. The belt is stamped 137RXR180. To use for Gilera dakota 350/500.
So i went to several car parts shops to ask. They asked their computers, phoned around to their wholesale dealers .... nothing.
So i mailed to the german importer of Dayco products. They gave me the adress of 2 Dayco *motorcycle* part wholesale dealers. From this i got the adress of motorcycle(scooter) shops near by. Again i asked for the belt. Nothing in the computer, so nothig to buy
Again the importer. He found out a wholesale dealer which has ordered this belts for his customers.
But no adress close by.
So again i give up and ordered a new belt from Gottfried yesterday.
That's the long and untold story of my cam belt disease
ciao Joachim
PS you have a flywheel puller? I have made and sold a lot of pullers in those old days, but have no one left (at least nothing for the Saturno) But i still have a little scetch. If one needs this to get a puller made....
