Hi Adrian, Thanks for the info. I found a company called Brammer who sell these, they have shops all over the UK, but the one in Hayes is the closest to me. I gave them a call and they had one in, but when I got there with the old one it appeared that they didn't have one with that cross section but could order it for the next day. The belts aren't cheap, and Brammer's would only sell it in 5m lengths, so is costing about £120 ex VAT, but at least it should keep me going for many years to come. Chris - I need to be able to split the belt, so a normal V Belt is no good. Cheers, Mike -- Michael Askin http://shoestring_DOT_zapto_DOT_org/
