I called all over town and found one long and thin enough to fit my 29-4 but I had to cut it to get it on the machine. That was not easy to clip together
Great idea of cutting a v-belt and clipping back together, never thought of it. I like the round leather belts for some things and it is handy to keep a small roll of leather around and make a custom sized belt when needed, like when your forced to use them stretchy O ring SM belts. I like the looks of it and it works well.
