10X710 Conti belt size update

[john walker's workshop]

For quite a while, the 10X710 continental belts have been too short. Basically not usable on the 911s that use that belt. The old belts that fit had yellow lettering and the white lettered belts we get now are the problem. I got tired of it and contacted CRP Industries' David Hirschhorn about it. He took some out of stock and found they measured a bit over 700mm. I sent him a NOS yellow letter belt and it measured dead nuts 710mm. So he pulled the whole pallet and found the german ones were too short and, get this, they are made in China now and the Chinese ones are dead on 710mm. So we'll have to wait until the old stock runs out. The Chinese ones are marked Made in China and have a different tooth spacing. Hopefully the quality good. That is all.
