[GreenKeys] toothed belts - was (Creed machines)

[Jim Backus]

Steve & John,

Thanks for the suggestions. It looks as though sdp-si have a wider range 
and the prices are very reasonable. Both companies offer belts in 
Neoprene, urethane and poyurethane. I've no idea what the original fit 
would have been but wonder how neoprene would withstand an oily 
environment.

sdp-si part A 6G 3-040025 looks perfect
