As far as i know, the manufacture date codes are privy only unto them.They use their own internal system to identify ... whatever that may be. I bought my gates belt online and asked this very question. I was told that stock turnover was quick and assured that the date would be well within spec. I accepted this mainly because it was a gates belt through a trusted gates supplier. I have today come across a supplier of a KV6 belt kit with dayco belts and the manufacture date is quite clearly 2021. I had a photo sent to me to confirm. I am waiting now for the confirmation of just the main belt date solo confirmation, which i will i hope know tomorrow if all is ok. So a new batch is out there from dayco 2021. I think reebs will be fine with his new gates belt and that would be my preference again. ...
