Whilst ambling around the web, I came across

https://www.audiolabga.com/

Go to the bottom of the page and you will find a belt cross reference chart; and their belt list gives each belt dimension.

Although it is mostly American models, It might just help someone.

Interesting list and got me to look at again where to find that illusive audio or video recorder belt.

Well, Tape Drive UK and GB Audio are good bedfellows, as an example, to get the size required which allows you to search for the best deal when the belt kit offered seems a little on the expensive size.

CPC, Modern Radio, Thakker.EU and so on come to mind for UK supplies of kits and individual belts.

You would have thought by now children in America would have been taught about millimetres and so on. Converting the size of a belt manufactured to the ISO world standard to inches is not only fraught with potential errors, remember the Mars Rover fiasco, but makes description a pain in the xxxx.
