You may be right, but even NEW belts have to be sewn by SOMEONE.

Along the same lines, I was looking for someone to make reproduction overflow 
hoses. I had someone north of here, but they seem to have gone out of business, 
so then I found someone in Cleveland, but they backed out when they realized 
that this was for an automotive application associated with gasoline. I'm still 
looking. I will probably check out a Hemmings myself to see who does this for 
the automotive repro trade. If anyone has any good leads I'd be pleased to hear 
about them.
