Hi Chris, take your belt down to the local electrical or hardware
shop and if it's anything like ours they always have a cardboard box full of belts in various sizes that can be compared to the size you require.For instance I've found that one of the Dyson vacuum
cleaners uses the same size belt as my Fumeo and when split I've
got two!
