Hello, I search a Fan Belt (Dynamo- Ventilation, without air condition) Partnumber 5.1929. I saw Brands of Gates or Fenner they are also okay? What's your recommendation?

Since you are posting in the V8 forum am assuming you are working on a 55-6. Gates is a respected brand in the US but there are many others that are also good. I'd say it is more a matter of what is available at your parts store than which brand might be better. Given many choices you can't go wrong with Gates.

The parts X-ref which you can reach from the main menu on the left lists two modern part numbers others have used in replacing 55-6 belts. One is a Dayco 15565 which crosses to a Napa PBH 15565. That length is given as 57.25 inches or 1454mm. The other is a Gates 7570 which Napa crosses to a PBH 15570. That length is 57.75 inches or 1466mm. Both are 36 degree 10mm wide belts. Either should be OK but if you have a choice I would opt for the shorter length as the extra 12 mm on the longer belt may need the generator to be near the maximum of adjustment.

Continental still lists belts on their web site:

The fan belt is the 15574. I have it installed on my '56.
