You can buy the belt at any NAPA store. Mine is Gates Micro V and I thiink it's the K060594. I can check and let you know for sure.
I paid a total of about $85 for both parts.
The pulley/belt combo can be purchased from ESS from some crazy price ($230?) but the result will be the same. Voided warranty on your SC and more boost!

My belt is the Gates Micro-V K060594 which converts to 1508. It fits perfectly, doesn't slip, is easy to find, inexpensive and isn't difficult to install.
ESS supplies Contitech belts which are also high quality but hard to source in the U.S. I couldn't easily find one.
Guys I just installed a 92 mm and him running belt 060594 which seems to translate into a 1510. It feels tight but the tensioner is right at the end of its travel And makes a racket when cold because it’s bouncing off of itself. See picture. Any thoughts?
I just went out to look at my belt to check for you. If there were numbers on it, they are worn off. My prior email above indicates that the 1510 is the proper belt.
In looking at my belt, it is getting tired, so a new belt is probably not far off in the future.
The 92mm came from Vortech if I recall, so if they are open, I might see if they have belts and/or recommendation for size. I remember it was a PITA getting the belt on the last time, notwithstanding the adjuster, it is a very tight fit. I think we had to "walk it on".
Thanks Jerry, I appreciate the confirmation and reply. ESS suggested a 6PK1509 which seems like it would be a tad shorter? Unfortunately they don't seem to exist in this country. From what I could tell the 1510 translates to a 595K6. I just ordered one incase there is a problem with my current belt. I also ordered a 592K6 which seems to be about .25" shorter. Will report back once they arrive.
I went back over old posts. Per Clemster, the Gates belt will work. Number is K060594. Micro-V. Depending on source, price around $20 or so. It works out to 1509 cm.
If 6PK1509 is a 1509 belt (would make sense based on number), that would right. Or a 1510 should be just fine. Difference within the limits of the belt tensioner.
This is the belt I am currently running with my 92mm pulley. I found out through trial and error that belt manufacturers measure differently. I've had several SC'd M5's and the Gates belts have proven very reliable.
Nice, thanks guys. The belt on there wasnt a Gates so that might be the issue. Funny that they can be slightly different depending on the brand. Appreciate the help and clarification.
Here is a pic with the 592k6. Unfortunately I don’t have a brand as it came in an unlabeled package. eBay purchase. Looks like I’m in pretty good shape now at about halfway on the tensioner range. Thanks again for the help.
