You, don't wont to cut them. What you do is stretch them out and measure them if you can not read the measurement use a piece of string or wood and mark it or cut it to length and send them. The other option is to send the belts to them. Oh don't forget to put a letter in with any of these suggestion so they know what is going on. A phone call to them and getting a contact person will be helpful also. Now all of that being said you might be able to take your belts down to your local auto parts center and they may be able to match something up. Just my thoughts. Hope this is some what helpful.
