	This may help get you in the ballpark. Belt length calculation between two pulleys Open belt formula 2xCD+[1.57X(D+d)]+[(D-d)²/4xCD] Crossed belt formula: 2xCD+[1.57X(d-D)]+[(D+d)²/4xCD] Where: CD= center distance D= large pulley dia. d=small pulley dia __________________ The last fight was my fault.

	Gates has a downloadable program (Design Flex) you can use for such purposes. __________________ There is more to life than just eating mice.
