Clipper Belt Lacing Size 0 ??

[John in OH]

Going for the old technology here!!
I need to repair a flat belt on a small lathe. I dug around and found some old carded Clipper belt lacers that are identified as, "0 Galv. Clipper". I checked the current Flexco-Clipper Hook Selection Guide but it does not list a size "0" clip. Does anyone know what range of belt thicknesses this size "0" clip will fit?

Check McMaster, they have it in detail.

I checked McMaster ... they do not list a "size 0" lace number.

I have a friend that's big into the old gas engines and all the sorted "tools" that these engines drive, all by belting. He has a belt "lacer" and if you hit a dead end here, look for an old engine club or forum. They'll have your answer.

Wow, haven't thought about these things in about 40 years! Good luck in your search for info.!

Keith Rucker, on Youtube has done some videos on belt lacing . he might have some info on his site (Vintagemachinery.org)

I do not think you will find a "0" size. Go to this supplier for the sizes that are available. http://www.hitnmiss.com/
I have two clipper lacing machines. I have been a customer of Hot and Miss. They do a good job with customer service.
