www.WMBerg.com offers a free B2000 catalog with GOBS of components and such
data in it. ASK for a copy! I got a formula from that (or earlier?) "Berg
catalog" which gives belt-length, when variables center-center distance,
pitch-diameter of each pulley or sprocket, and phases of the moon in GMT are
entered. It works wonderfully, and anyone who can do ninth-grade algebra can
derive any of the other possible solutions/variables, if the other ones are
known.

I think Berg also has "timing belt stuff", but another (perhaps cheaper?)
source is "Stock Drive Products". Use your search-engine, you should find a
web-site. The only catalog I have is 11 years old!

Lotsa luck! Jan Rowland
