What belt drive system is this?
It's not v belt or serpintine.
It's called a Gilmer drive kit and the belt is 1.5" wide and looks like a buldozer track inside out. The pulleys are keyed to suit and I want to know what are the pros & cons of such a system? I went to buy some alloy pulleys and came away with this setup but need to know whether I should take this back & exchange it?

It's used for dry-sump oil systems and similar applications.
What are you really asking?

So theres no advantage over a v belt system? If thats the case I'll take it back and go for the cheaper option.
I still would like to know what you call this system?
