  How about gilmer pulleys?  (Uses "tractor belts" with teeth). I've got =
two gilmers, one for my dry sump oil system, another for the alternator. =
 Perfect alignment is required, but there's no slippage.  IMHO, as good =
as serpentine.

    Serpentine belts are to V-Belts pretty much what alternators are to =
generators IMO.
