The answer is yes, but it will cost you. I contacted Gates about converting a eight to a seven rib for the main belt to accommodate the additional pulley to get more wrap for the SC jackshaft. They told me it would be a $10,000 set up fee and I would need to order 100 units.
I wound up converting the eight to a seven rib by cutting off one rib using a utility knife. Took about ten minutes to do. You can go to the Gates web site and research it. Good luck.

What is the "additional" pulley you are referring to and how does going from an 8 to 7 rib fix anything? Do you mean the serp belt on the engine side that drives everything? Is the main drive serpentine belt (OEM) 6 or 7 rib? I thought the serp side pulley (opposite 8 rib jackshaft pulley was 6 rib) ![]() Is it correct that 7 (rib) belt is the right fit for a 6 (groove) pulley? Therefore the belt always has 1 more rib than the grooves on the pulley? So you would get a 6 (groove) pulley to suit a 7 (rib) serp belt? This has utterly confused me.
