Thanks for the belt information on AC 65 GS.

My belts are cogged and work well but aren't helpful for judged.

Milton, you’re welcome. Bill S. has found a belt company that has non- cogged belts in metric sizes. We need to make a road trip to check it out first hand and see what they look like.

I'm interested.

I have seen stuff like lawn mower belts non-cogged but they are the wrong color (green) and I'm not sure I want to trust my car to such a substatute.

Milton,

 One of the reasons Bill and I want to see the belts first hand. Weather is playing a factor right now. It is a road trip to Sioux Falls, SD from Firth. So once we have some better road/weather conditions we can check it out.
 I've done a bit of research on the sizes and found metric size belts that are very close to correct . The metric belts come in two widths , 7mm and 10 mm. The 7mm is really close to 3/8" and 10mm is really close to 1/2". So now it will be down to color of the belts and how the metric belts are marked.

  Hopefully we can find a replacement that will fit the bill.

I just picked up an NOS belt on ebay, non-cogged with the sleeve for 30 bucks, shipped. Thanks for the part number or I wouldn't have know what to look for.
