Specifically, from the previously linked thread. He ordered them both and
either one works:

Anyway, the drive belt is broken. Now, how to get a new one?

It is a trapezoidal toothed belt about 6mm wide by ~122mm long, with 60
teeth. Pitch is ~2mm, and height of teeth is 0.5mm, total height
(thickness) of belt is ~1mm. Markings are simply “Pirelli” and “E9”.

I got no useful hits from googleing, but the following options from
McMaster Carr might work:
Form - Belts
Type - Timing Belts
Timing Belt Type - Single-Sided with Trapezoidal Teeth
Number of Teeth - 60
Outer Circle - 4.8"
Belt Width - 1/4"
Timing Belt Series - MXL Series
Pitch .08"
Color Black
Trade Size Material Cord Material Each
48MXL Neoprene Fiberglass 7887K73 $3.01
60MXL Urethane Kevlar 1679K66 $2.43

I could not even find the item on their web site. I am not sure they are the 
only providers though.  I have cleaned four antennae? and all had their own 
belts, none the same

with regards to antenna drive belts. My last interaction with Continental USA 
was quite a while ago but in summary  they said they could not sell the belt to 
me directly due to contract limitations. However they said nothing prevented 
them from giving me the belt. Which they did. So why don't you contact them and 
see if they are still willing to provide the belt for free. Ron Courcy

I understand the mindset, but I don?t think it?s endemic.

My youngest is putting out resumes and applying for jobs daily now that he?s 
graduated.  The worst part of all this is that the current industry climate in 
the environmental business, no matter where you are, is to circle the wagons 
and hunker down.  He?s applying for really crappy public works jobs that will 
give him some broader experience to try and improve his potential for getting a 
?real? job.  I have been using what favors I have to try and get him into the 
County so he might be able to get a start in the environmental business with 
them.  In the meantime he works at a local golf course where rich white guys 
shove cash at him for taking care of their golf carts.

This is a real conundrum for him - it?s not uncommon for him to come home with 
a
