Small drive belts, where from?

[cjs]

Bit unusual, I've tried searching but have had no luck.

I need a drive belt for an old Cine Projector. Needs to be round approx 48mm dia and 3mm thick. Anyone know where I can get one?

Try contacting this eBay seller who lists dozens of belts, but no sizes.

There are lots of belts on Ebay, I just cannot find anything near the size I need, I sent out a couple of emails but had no replies.

Dunno if your machine is listed though. What have you got?

Or make your own...

O-ring from a hardware store?
That sufficed when I had to replace a smaller one in a VCR recently.

Have you tried using an elastic band?

Thanks. already tried the first two, my Chinnon is not listed. Vintage may have one that fits, they are getting back to me.

Making my own could be an option, if I cant get one.

Yes, does not work very well, too elastic.

Thanks but already looked, nothing near the size I need. Same with Farnell.
