Hopefully I'm not revealing a complete lack of geometry and basic math her but.... ;) When assembled in belt form, is a given belt measured at the inner or outer face when determining "length" ? I recently went through something similar and it seemed to me that for the same application, one maker might advertise an OD length and the other maker, an ID length. Not saying this is the case with your belt situation, just tossing it out there. :) Neil. On Thu, Aug 15, 2013 at 7:02 AM, Mark McCulley <markmcculley@gmail.com>wrote: > .....
