I have a set of what looks exactly like that still in the package, Race-Trim on the package.

Did Gilmer produce it and race-Trim was maybe just a reseller?

Sure, I can post some pictures. I actually have a bit more than one complete kit, it has two different crank pulleys and several extra belts. I will take the photos and post them tonight.

No clear markings on the belts that you could use to cross reference unfortunately.

Next to the Bottom Dead Center mark is the labels P and B. What do you think those mean? If B indicates BDC, what would P mean?

thanks,
Jeremy

I saw that you posted for sale on the Samba. Curious if it sells and what it sells for?

As a note of caution, if you use this pulley combination, be sure to have your fan welded. As the belt doesn't slip if 'reved high, the fan can explode inside the shroud. I had it happen.
