How about grind the "to thick" heater hose down very carefully with a sander or rotary grinder. Leave the internal threads in tact.

Unfortunately, I have already tried the DIY rubber belting. It just doesn't work properly. Stretches too much & slips. The Zenith I am working on has a much thinner belt than the rest of them, so when the material is thinned enuf to fit thru the holes, it then stretches, slips and won't properly work. Hope NESDANET can help out. Thanks again for the info.
