I've assumed it joins just like a Meccano belt where one end is a tight spiral that you 'screw' into the open end. It must be joined in some way? Steve

Chop a bit off teh full size open end and keep doing that until you get the length you need. Just took the one off mine and it is 236mm end to end, think they are 300mm as supplied

On the ST S9 I rebuilt I used a small square section rubber belt from a tape recorder(video/ audio can't remember), round belt just as good, just don't try a rubber band. Ian S C
