Here is the company that sells the coil spring belts.
I have order two 3/16 carbon belts, the cheaper 3/16 belts and the connectors that goes with them. The connectors comes in a package of five. So, I decided to purchase two of the 10' belts to cut in half ( may have to check what works best in length for treadle) and then I will have 4 belts for 4 of my treadles.
I like the idea of the ease of changing the machine heads with the coil spring belts and the fact that you can tilt the machine to get to the underside for oiling with out having to take the belt off the wheel. I will let all of you know how I like this over the traditional belts.
