    Default Drive belt for Ryobi DP

    The v belt that drives my Ryobi DP (cr@ppy 5-speed bench model) is very close to completely cactus. It is a 8mm belt and has the marking K26 -660 on it. AFAIK v belts come in A, B, C, and Z profiles. Is there a K profile (26 is the length in inches, I assume and 660 is the same in mm)? Where should I go to try to find a replacement?

    Or is there some 5/16" link belt available (the smallest I have found so far is 3/8")?
    Cheers

    My DP has K 220 and K221 belts , closest section is the z section which is the same thickness at 6mm but 2mm (K is 8mm ,Z is 10mm) wider at the widest point .I reckon the z would be fine and work ok.
    I've only seen the poly twist link belt in A section ,the old Brammer belt with the steel studs is a mongrel to use.
    I use the poly twist belt on my lathe ,its pretty good stuff. Got it from Blackwoods.

    Belt sections are Z,A, B, C, D, SPZ, 3V, SPA, SPB, 5V , SPC, and 8v.

    I bought a 3/8" Fenner twist link belt from this guy in the US via eBay. The belt arrived yesterday and I installed it on the DP this morning. It was running very nicely when I left for the office, so we will see how it is going when I get home. The 1/16" difference does not seem to be causng any difficulties with the running yet.
