just go to autovaux and buy a genuine one, i never use a spurious cam belt on any of my cars
gates or any of the known brand ones, QH, unipart, motaquip etc.... it will be fine.

I bought a genuine one for my 1.3, it had Gates written all over it ;)
Gates/dayco both the same. Use them on ALL my builds. No problems
Just mind you get the correct belt as there is 2 different ones for the E16 iirc

90% of belts and tensioner a are made by the same company. There just rebranded
i'd have the figure higher than 90%... all these manufacturers deal with each other, if someone has the tooling to make a certain part, its way cheaper to buy from them than to get the tooling yourself, and its a case of you scratch my back, i'll scratch yours..
