Re: Belts 9mm or 15mm?

Not all belts are equal, FWIW. If you're looking at HTD profile (what VexPro and AndyMark sell) I would recommend 15mm for drivetrain. If you're running GT2/GT3 belts and pulleys, 9mm could be sufficient.

I believe 971 ran 9mm GT2 in 2013 and 2014, but switched to 15mm in 2015.

9mm can definitely work, but 15mm gives you a lot more headroom.
