627 forum posts 72 photos	When I aquired my Myford Super 7 Plus there were problems with vibration .The belt looked worn so I replaced it with a T link belt of good quality.The belt was an A size but road to high in the pully and I got slip.I replaced it with a Z size and this sat down better but still gave some slip.When I had it serviced by the Lads from Myford they replaced it with the proper belt and I have had no more trouble.My question is the belts that are sold as A size are to big so is there a different size for link belts and the grip of the composite belts does not seem as good as the continuous belts.I have in the past used a Brammer leather belt and they were better than the T link belting.
