I'm sure you'll find a belt off the shelf. If you cut a belt and glue the ends together at the right length and post it to Apollo Bearings 01293 539 539 they'll match it and post you one. The belts are available with a different v angle so send them the right one.

Finding a belt shouldnt be a problem mate, Take a Piece sting and run it like you would the belt. Mark it / Cut it whatever, measure it in MM then bob down you local motorfactors, Ask what they have in around that size and buy a couple of diffrent sizes. Just take into account the width of the pully or just take your pully with you to check the width while your there.
