11:14 PM ^kat^: anyhoo, no lisintg on ebay for 5cm or 6cm timing or tooth belt
11:15 PM ^kat^: technically, a timing belt isn;t for deliving power, so i am a lot skittish about ording that name
11:15 PM ^kat^: AAARGGG,, they use 50mm for 5cm
11:15 PM rue_shop3: how much power can a timing belt take?
11:16 PM ^kat^: beats me, whatever the catalog says
11:16 PM ^kat^: but originally, they were for turning only thingslike position indicators
