Thankfully 99% of his customers realise this. Can you imagine how much work is required trying to source all the individual components yourself?</p> <p>His&nbsp;belts are also not just the same size as the originals. Even the elasticity is taken into account so they are always at least as good as &amp; often better than the originals.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Chris.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/282794.aspxTue, 29 Jun 2010 11:55:11 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:282794Craig0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/282794.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=282794<p>Martin really does provide a superb service.
