dubnut1 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 im also assuming the belt has stretched a few mm over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saabmania2 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hi, Do you know the pitch of the belt? the pitch is the exact distance from middle of 1 tooth to the middle of the next tooth. I'm pretty sure it's probably something like a T5-560-6MM but if you send me the belt I will probably be able to match it up for you and obviously give you a price for the them before supplying anything. PM me if you would like to send me the belt and I'll give you my address to send it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadMeatUK Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 560mm long belt with 110 teeth makes it a T5 or 5mm pitch 560/110= near enough to call it 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadMeatUK Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I found out through experience with other models that they don't use common length belts so you can't get them from general power/transmission supplies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saabmania2 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) I found out through experience with other models that they don't use common length belts so you can't get them from general power/transmission supplies A T5-560 is a very common size for power transmission supplies infact I've yet to come across a size I cannot get hold of for a model, it's just the width that differs but I can have them cut to any width. But a T5-560 would be 112 teeth a T5-550 would be 110 teeth I deal with 27 belt suppliers and rarely have to turn a belt away unless it's O.E equipment only which no model ever would be, I can even have them made to spec if you have the money they can be Kevlar lined or wrapped, PTFE lined etc Edited March 18, 2015 by Saabmania2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
