 When you say NAPA is the same as Gates, do you mean dimensionally? Or does Gates manufacture NAPA belts?
 
 The reason I ask is that I have been having a hard time getting Gates belts. Is there a business relationship between the two?

 The NAPA belts are Gates. Surely, they do not run two separate production lines for the product (especially v belts when you consider the popularity of them today ). Gates does all of the rubber product for NAPA as well as the water pumps.
 
 I also suspect Delco is all Gates as well. Mind you, Delco makes nothing. They are no more than a repackager of product today.
