Small timing pulleys and belts - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I'm looking for some small timing pulleys and belts, preferably ones that use a 3mm wide belt, the smallest I've found use 6mm belts. Does anyone know of a source of any that use 3mm belts? Thanks.

Regards,

Dave.

HPC Gears do a range for 4mm belt, if that's any use. They will do custom sizes too, at a price!

Have you tried scrapping out some old top loading VCR's or older printers, RTTY machines or copiers?
They are loaded with them of all sizes and types.
