Yokomo BD7-2015 Front Drive Belt for Forward Motor Conversion - BD-498L  [BD-498L]

Front drive belt for BD7-2015 forward-motor conversion

The Yokomo BD-498L is a front drive belt designed for BD7-2015 cars converted to a forward motor layout. It serves as the replacement routing belt that completes the front-drive path for the conversion and is supplied as a single part for servicing or rebuilding the front drivetrain.

Installation notes: follow the forward-motor routing for BD7-2015, confirm pulley alignment, and set a moderate initial tension to prevent tooth skipping while allowing free rotation. Inspect the pulley teeth and belt edges for wear during fitting, and recheck tension after a short run to ensure stable engagement.

Tuning impact: the front drive belt influences drivetrain smoothness and transient response during acceleration and steering transitions. Correct alignment and moderate tension reduce lash and help keep handling predictable on high-grip surfaces, while over-tightening increases drag and stresses bearings.
