Re: Optima MiD LWB Belt OTW-07 ?
this company carries XL type timing belts:
https://sdp-si.com/eStore/
the number 254 doe not seem to indicate the number of teeth: I only count about 129???
The narrowest belt in this pitch and teethcount is 6mm, so it would need trimming. The price is a little over 5 dollar a piece for less than 25.
Maybe better get the 8 mm width and make 2 out of one

Re: Optima MiD LWB Belt OTW-07 ?
254 is the length of the belt from one end to the other (uncut) in mm. And getting the belt cut to the correct width seems to be the problem everywhere I have gone.

this seems to be a long belt...

That's the same belt as I have up in BST w-0105 which was explained to me was the standard belt for the optima mid.

I thought so too, but I measuerd it and only had 156mmaip47-2008 wrote:254 is the length of the belt from one end to the other (uncut) in mm. And getting the belt cut to the correct width seems to be the problem everywhere I have gone.
When I checked the shop in the link, it turned out the belt in XL pitch, with 129 grooves measures 155.8mm.

hi guys, normally timing belts are cut to width at your request, when companys are making timing belts they produce about a 300mm to 400mm sleeve, this is what they normally stock on there shelves, you the end user would order the belt and they should cut it to whatever width you want. if you have any problems i can most likely source this from Australia. I have a LWB Optima that i can measure the belt for you if needed.

Re: Optima MiD LWB Belt OTW-07 ?
I think the shop I put up is only a distributor; selling what they can get from the producers catalog.
I am set for the moment; have 2, not 3 but 2's enough for now.
I might take you up on the offer another time though: got a turbo optima coming also and am thinking of making it LWB too
Still want to build a 4x4 trackmaster too; which is a whole different pitch again... too many 4wd's in my head lately

Re: Optima MiD LWB Belt OTW-07 ?
I stand corrected!! The 254 mark on the belt is the length, but total length in inches. So the total length of the belt is 25.4 inches. And thank you Erik, the supplier you posted was very helpful.

This link should also work...
And you can email them about specific width´s and they do ship internationaly i think 25 dollars is minimum order.
they fixed belts for the Kyosho lazer.

Maybe this has been stated before but my lhs guy told me these are all copy machine drive belts at least that's what they were or are made for. Very interesting.

Yes I have been told that as well! Along with the Hyperdrive belts coming from the cash register industry! They are just timing belts after all.
