Gates Accessory Drive Belt P/N:9540HD
Help keep engine-belt-driven accessories turning with the Gates Automotive XL High Capacity V-Belt 9540, a notched replacement V-belt built for demanding accessory drives. It fits many classic cars, trucks, buses, and farm equipment, among them the 1979-1984 Ford F-150 4.9L / 5.8L and 1964-1966 Ford Mustang 4.3L / 4.7L. Because thermal forces build as the engine heats up, this variable notched belt tightens on the drive to help limit slippage, improve belt performance, and reduce noise.
Specs: HC50 cross section, 36° angle, 0.47 in (12 mm) top width, 54.61 in (1387 mm) outside circumference, 54 in (1372 mm) effective length. Made in the United States. This belt fits many vehicles — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
