So I have been rebuilding a 10K. I tried a few belt options and have been using a link belt flipped upside down using the flat profile.
I am using a variable speed D.C. Motor so I only need to use the high speed pulley to the left side of the headstock. However I found that the belt tends to ride left and slips off the lower drive in the cabinet.
I bought a 2-1/4" collar at Grainger and clamped it around the pulley cone. This keeps the belt from moving and provides a nice notch for the belt to operate. I did have to turn down the face of the clamp to a width of 5/8 from 3/4.
