im about to order a gates kv6 front timing belt. has anyone bought one online, as im after some information if someone has to the following questions 1. should the belt be sealed in plastic polythene etc .. unopened ? . 2. should it be coiled / packaged in a certain fashion ? 3. are they stamped on the belt with a production date or sheflife advice ? it seems that unless you can sign up to a gates suppliers / members official parts supplier , you cannot buy direct from gates. i ask these questions as i dont want to buy old stock thats been sitting on the shelf for too long. all info appreciated. many thanks.
