That is probably the best option if you can, but is not possible
for many of the under-drive lathes where the belt passes through
holes in the casting.

I have used one for years with no problems. ?I did not cut and
splice it though. ?I took the headstock apart and installed it

Thanks for the replys. I guess my main question would be
the type of adhesive to use.??
Also, I'm not sure if i have the ability to
cut an even taper on both ends, so I thought a stepped lap
joint would work (??)??
(How much overlap should be good?)
The Duralast info states the material is
rubber.
Come to think of it... any reason Clipper
links wouldn't work? Would they rip thru the material when
under tension?

I used one for years on my 16” SBL.
Cut on a taper. Use a
belt sander to make opposing tapers on the belt
Glue, overlap the taper
belt edges, clamp and let sit overnight.
I forget what glue I
used, might have Been Permatex??

Hello,
?
Wondering if
automotive flat belts (grooved serpentine
type) can be put to use as a drive belt
for my 10L.?
?
I just bought a
Duralast #750K7 (7PK1905)
and before I cut
it and try to glue together, has anyone
had prior success?
?
Thanks...!
