    Anyone seen this before? Both belts have threads showing. My old15k mile belts don’t show any threads. AW Italian said they are all like this. I don’t feel comfortable putting these on the 308. Anyone else have seen this??? What happen when the thread wears off?

    I've not seen new timing belts (of any car, not just 308) with exposed steel showing.

    I would definitely not use it and exchange it for a better one.

    Hi, I have seen this on all Ferrari cam belts I have (6). I do not use 3rd party belts, even though I guess they are good as well.

    Maybe, the loops seen are indicators for correct reinforcements in the belt. I do not have any proof backing this up, but I would be curious to hear from someone with this insight into production of belts like this.

    @waymar They all look like that. Install the belts and don't overthink it.
