I can't find any 8mm belts longer than 70.55". I can't go smaller than a 53 tooth on the crank pully, due to the crank support.

Soooo, does anyone know where I can find a belt in the 72"-73" range?
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

Buddy, Call Jones  http://www.jonesracingproducts.com/  They will make you a belt in any length and width (I think there max width is 2' :-o).  I would order a few extra to keep on the trailer.  Tony

Probably have to go to Gates for larger belts.
The next size is probably around 78" (2000mm)

I have seen some in the range of 140", and no, I don't stand anywhere near them.

John, Tony-Thanks!

Tony, once again, you're a life saver! Jones is getting us the belts we need!
