Re: Best source for timing pulleys and timing belts

You probally want to check out Stock Drive at www.sdp-si.com they are
the best source for stuff like this.

Also you'll probally want to go with a HTD (Hight Torque Drive)
profile, it's a curved tooth that's better suited for this type of
application.

A 9mm belt with a 5mm pitch should work well, just make sure the
drive pulley (smaller of the two) is flanged, the other need not be.
