[quote="JPG40504"]It is quite possible that 'Gary'(BTW) considered the SS belts too loose when new. Would not be the first time he has 'improved' upon SS 'design'.]

I have suggested a couple of similar Shopsmith parts improvements to Gary personally a few times and he actually was able to offer a couple of them later. Give him a call, his number is in the Ebay listings.

We have already had a brief conversation re a 13 rib belt for a Mark VII. Cost too much, too few potential buyers, and the Mark 5/V belt will work.
