You must have a special relationship with him Jim  You frequently praise Bert at Berlyn, but in all the times I have done my research over the last four and a half years Bert has never come up with the best price. I actually bought my belts and rollers from ECP because they offered the best prices, and then gave me discount too when I asked. |

Nope but when I asked him for a quote he quoted for the lot & ommitted one item (for a reason). Everyone else I asked either quoted for what they thought I wanted or didn't do all of it. ECP are cheaper no doubt but don't do the seals & top hats & I'm not piddling about ordering bits from here & other bits from elsewhere. Zims in the US were slightly cheaper but if I had got nailed for VAT, duty & handling charges it would have ben quits. |

Are the belts and rollers on the S2 the same as the 968? I see on http://www.promaxmotorsport.com that they have the S2 kit listed for £209.95 and the 968 kit for £159.95. Their prices look like they include vat and delivery. |

Some of the other sites I have looked at list the S2/968 belts as the same. Out of interest what seals & top hats? |

This means the hats wear rather than the shaft. 4 seals on a 944 lump 2 for the balance shaft, one for the crank & the other for the cam. I think that the S2 & 968 belt kits maybe the same as the 3L block is common & the heads are very similar. |

Just looked out the receipt from 04 07 2009. Five rollers and two belts cost me £170 including VAT and discount at ECP. All the descriptions have 944S / S2 / 968 on them, except for one roller, which must be the 'extra' one. |

I'd go to GSF IMO. Dayco belts which are supposedly the OE belts and INA tensioners. Cheapest out of the lot too (around £160 all in for 5 tensioners and 2 belts). Ordering them can be a pain but I have deciphered their part numbers if you want them  ).

I get the 5 S2 rollers, both belts and also genuine balance belts pulleys from ECP for £180 I think. ECP do do the seal kits for the front, includes the O rings, seals and very fine gaskets that sit behind the top hats. Alasdair |
