Ernest does do them reasonably cheap. Most likely an 'A' type/ section. Take it in and match it up.

Motor factors are another option. Match it up to an automotive belt.

the belts slip a tad when its in low gear and grabs but other than that i cant fault it, not bad for a freebie

Beltingonline.com - cheap and good delivery. I have used them a few times.

belt dressing

i use belt dressing on mine when the belts get dry and shiny they slip. even new ones can , a squirt of belt dressing increases the torque no end .great on the compressor belts as well http://www.bearingshopuk.co.uk/belt...-27875-p.asp?gclid=CI_LnpeAnrYCFZDKtAodcBIA4Q

Yeah, Belt tack works wonders

Look at the pulleys to see if they are shiny in the bottom of the vee grooves. If they are then the belt is running too low in the groove. Worn out belt or worn out pulley - the belt should only ride on the flanks.
