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

BD7-2015 front belt for forward motor layouts

The Yokomo BD-498L is a purpose-made front drive belt for BD7-2015 cars that have been modified with a forward motor conversion. As a single replacement item, it completes the front-drive routing required by the conversion and is intended for maintenance or rebuild tasks on the front drivetrain.

Fitting advice: route the belt in accordance with the forward-motor conversion schematic for BD7-2015, ensure pulleys are concentric, and apply moderate tension to prevent skipping while keeping rotation smooth. Check pulley teeth and belt edges during installation and retension after a short running session for reliable engagement.

Performance note: belt tension and alignment affect drivetrain responsiveness during acceleration and direction changes. Proper setup reduces lash and improves predictability on grippy surfaces, whereas an overly tight belt can increase drivetrain drag and accelerate bearing wear.
