Have you tried here? V & Wedge Belts - Belts & Pulleys - BearingShopUK

And if that fails, simplybearings might have what you want. Keep the old belt if you can for measurement and comparison.

Yep ive tryed both them , simply bearings a got belt shorter but too tight too fit

More expensive is a nutlink as they can be adjusted to fit, otherwise a car parts store like Halfords?

that looks like a round belt to me. They are available in various metric diameters, and you simply cut them to length and fuse the two ends together.

My local supplier (transmission supply) is also a bearing store, and they refer to it as round polyurethane belting.

I use them on m engraving machines/jewellers lathes and other light duty stuff.

In the pix attached the largest is 8mm, the smaller 4 mm

I would google around subject Sewing Machine drive belts might have to be a round belt but should be fine or speak to Motionco.co.uk - good luck

If you haven't already and you are still stuck, it might be worth asking lathes.co.uk.

Is that the belt or a power cord in the picture, it looks round?
Is this a different company? good luck
