Flat belts available?

[Jubil]

Are flat machine belts still available and where? Searched internet and haven't found any (yet) i need 2 belts for a 1940 (+/- ) Brown & Sharp #13 grinder. Attempting to refurb close to original.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for all the replies. I did try another search and found some. Guess I used the wrong search term. Should have tried one more time before posting.

High speed endless belts are available from Wm. Sopko Company; they are made for precision grinders, thin and endless to minimize vibration; Sopko has other grinder accessories as well, such as grinding wheel hubs, internal grinding quills, wheel screws, etc. They are the very essence of quality.

I will check them out. I will be needing a couple hubs also, so they may be a good source.

What machine do you have?

It's a Brown & Sharp #13 Universal grinder. Serial no. dates it approx 1940 model. It seems to be in good condition. Previous owner installed a 2 hp motor on spindle with v-belt. No headstock or original accessories but does have a Weldon air bearing, a yuasa index fixture, and some homemade jigs for sharpening different items from local companies.
