Hutchinson Cambelts - Any Good?

[Justin 9]

Hi,

 

I ordered a Dayco cambelt for my MI16 but it has arrived as a Hutchinson one in an oldish looking box. Whilst I would prefer a Dayco/Gates/ContiTech one (as I have never heard of Hutchinson (except for maybe bike tyres?) I don't want to send something back if it's actually okay.

 

Does anyone have any experience of Hutchinson?

 

Thanks,

Justin.

Not used their timing belts but have used quite a few of their Auxillary belts and they seem perfectly fine, they do make coolant hoses as well, been around for donkeys ( 1853 to be precise!!)
