    For "V" type belts, an auto supply store may be your best bet.

    The 'Link' belt always seems to work except when multiple belts are used over the same pulley set.

    i remember the 7 year rule on parts, shame to hear that it's gone to industry regulated (when has industry regulation ever really worked for the customer??)

    That will mean they will be cheap to reduce stock holdings and then just ask expensive prices for the part, and use that as an excuse no one buying, to stop keeping parts.

    Hope you find a reasonably priced belt, that fits your machine without spending hours and hours of chasing one down.

Some 2 hours later trying to fit it, I gave up. At issue is the belt is too short by 15mm and the next size up is apparently +50mm. Unperturbed, I will try again with other outlets and see what I can dig up in the generic market.
    Can you read the code on the original belt? Is it a plain belt or a wedge belt? Possibly a metric belt not the common A or B section imperial belts?
    I have this chart printed out as a handy reference guide, it might help if you can't read the belt code:

    Thanks Richmond.

    I had some success at a specialist belt supplier, and fitted the belt yesterday.

    Whilst the sectional profile is not the same, it works well, and I am one happy chappy.

    Thanks all for the suggestions (and puting up with my rant).

    I work in a different industry but I'd just like to add that few people realise the hidden costs of stocking parts for some future possible use. Especially with the high overheads for business in Australia.
    Those costs have to be recouped.
    Then we want tools at prices that are not so much more than overseas.
    It's not an easy business.

    As long as it's driving through through more than 2/3rds to 3/4 of the sides of the belt and not the bottom or edge riding on the sides, it should be OK.
