I had a look at the alternator belt on my 96 JDM DC2 last night, and it looks a little unhealthy anyway i have a couple of questions :-

1. Does anyone have the part no? I just phoned my dealer and they want £26! which is about $60 - expensive imo so I want to make sure they get the right part.

2. Why do all my belts have mitsubishi printed all over them! do Honda fit Mitsubishi belts OEM?

Regards,

Ben.

I cant believe that belt can cost that much.

Has answers to all your price questions.

 

It doesn't say Mitsubishi, unless the dye guy can't spell.

Might be the same for GS-R's and ITR's.

Just look on the belt and it'll give you the circumference of the belt in mm's. ie: 4PK785 - 4 rib, 785mm

 

Thanks People,

It does say Mitsubishi on two of the 3 belts, weird, Ill try and get a couple of fotos, maybe my car had an identity crisis at some point.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if the belts were indeed from Mitsu. I've seen Mitsu timing/etc. belts on many other Japanese vehicles. Mitsu belts are also used widely on many industrial equipments.

 

I must not be up to par on the insider nihongo-ese b/c every time I look at the belt, it says Mitsuboshi.

Are they the same company?
