The 2009/10 catalogue produced by the ContiTech Power Transmission Group makes it easier for workshops to find the right belts. The catalogue cross-references 2000 products to over 13,000 vehicles and more than 60,000 applications. Correct drive elements for each vehicle are listed, along with a complete range of drive-belt components. The catalogue features a combined measurement directory with an extensive recoding list for original part numbers. Information about the ContiTech Power Transmission Group’s Service Accessories range is given: from wall display racks via sales presentation units to measuring equipment. All details available on the online catalogue (click on above link).

The latest catalogue from Dayco features the entire range of products available to the aftermarket. This includes timing belts and timing belt kits, with more than 550 individual belts and over 400 kits available for a host of vehicle applications. New to the range are individual timing belt tensioners, so along with the auxiliary products including dampers, tensioners, pulleys and alternator freewheels, the customer has the option to choose from a complete kit or the individual components for either the synchronous drive or the auxiliary drive.

The CAT Directory is the industry’s most comprehensive guide to the UK Aftermarket. It includes A-Z guides in three distinct sections:

1. Products
2. Suppliers, trade associations and national distributors
3. Motor factors

Whether you want to find details of specific products or individual company information, the Directory is ideal. And in January 2010, for the first time, you will find it as part of this website – rather than a link to generic directory website, blueboomerang.com.

CORTECO oil seals have a history which stretches back more than 70 years: the CORTECO brand was first registered as a product trademark for radial shaft seals in Italy in 1932. These seals were manufactured and distributed in Italy by a partner of the Freudenberg Group. Since 1932 the Italian market has identified the CORTECO brand as being a ‘rotary shaft oil seal’. This is similar to what happened in Germany for Freudenberg’s ‘Simmerring®’ brand.

CORTECO engine, transmission and chassis mounts turn noise and vibration into smooth and comfortable driving conditions. The highly sophisticated technology of Corteco products clearly shows in the example of the innovative, decoupled pulley. In addition to the traditional damping of the axial vibrations, the pulley decouples the belt drive from the crankshaft. This reduces the strain on neighbouring components. The lifetime of belt and pulley is extended, while reduced noise levels inside the car mean enhanced ride comfort.
