Question: Doesn't the motor have some method of adjusting tension?
Most machinery I have seen that were belt driven had some method or
tightening the belts as even though a belt is "exactly" the same size
as another the actual dimensions may vary slightly. Vee belts can be
purchased in "matched sets" for exactly this reason.

Hi Bruce, yep, it's got a big nut-n-threaded-rod for adjusting
tension. Which is adjusted all the way out---it's as tight as I can
make it.

Then you need to cut it and glue in a section. I assume that if you
previously spliced it you already have the clamps and skiving guide so
it shouldn't be a tremendous job -- providing you have a short length
of belting left from last time.
