Pulleys are crowned in the center to aid in the belting centering itself while being run. If the 8 inch belt could be made to run with only 1 inch extra overhanging both sides of pulley, it'd probably work. But it's not going to work with 2 inches extra all over hanging one side of the pulley. I can't hardly imagine a run off guide being so close to the pulley that it won't allow for the belt being off even one inch. But, I believe ya I guess, if you say its like that. I'm guessing it's so that a thrown belt is impossible to come off the shaft side of the pulley for safety concerns. But that's neither here nor there. You either got some space to work with there, or you don't. Not even one inch, I'd say you don't have any space to work with. These belts, once commonly used, are getting harder to find. But finding one is not impossible. Your just going to have to dig a little deeper in finding one. Any thrashing bee or steam engine guys in your area would be able to steer you in the right direction. Or, more than likely have an extra one they'd sell ya. Especially if you told them you were a mill demonstrater. Don't be surprised if you get invited to thier functions. So would be a plus plus and to your benefit if your belt search took you in that vary direction.
