In Search of CVT Belt

I am having a problem finding a CVT belt for my quad. I have a Honcho ATV (actually 2) built around 1984-85. It has a Comet clutch and transmission. It is currently running the original belt but the engine has been replaced. The problem is the prior owner had to shoehorn the engine into a position as to use the original belt. But it is still slightly short and it still runs the belt even at idle. I would like to move the engine forward to correct the clearances.

The Gates Xtreme belt line looks like a match, just cogs on the inner diameter, flat on the top. But my belt dimensions are 1” wide (measured 15/16", I figure some wear) x ½” thick and 46” on the outside circumference. I want to extend it to 51”. The problem I’m having is as I try to go thru the Gates catalog, it seems the thinnest is 1-3/8” and I don’t see any at the length I need.

Does anyone have a supplier that would have a belt with the dimensions I desire?

Thanks in advance..
Mike
