Im thinking of changing my belts soon. Gates has a blue micro-v belt K060465RB and K040372RB. Does this fit on a 2005 RWD fx35? Gates website doesn't show it. Anyone with info please let me know.
 
Yes, those are the correct belts I believe. Do a search for "Gates" and in another thread the same parts numbers are listed for a 2007...so it should fit
a 2005 also. I replaced mine with gates belts about 3 yrs ago and I think those are the ones I used...I have a 2006.
 
Just make sure that you don't get the belts for the '07-'08. They're a different length as I believe the idler pulley was removed. I know I was confused when buying belts as the change was made sometime in '07 so I had to go look at my car.

This is correct. I actually ended up with the wrong belt when I ordered what the Gates catalog said to get.

Now, Amazon says that K060450 is for April 2007 and newer, and K060465 is for March 2007 and older. I needed the newer one, but I thought my FX is from early 2007 or late 2006.

But yes, those two belts you listed are correct for a 2005. I had the same numbers (although one didn't fit) minus the RB, since I didn't get the blue ones.
