Hi there  :D

There are 2 Norlett manuals on our list.  Perhaps they might be helpful to you:

Hi Aunt Sally yes I did check them they are not the right ones apparently the Bison is few and far between so the manuals are as well. I don't really need a manual just need the belt sizes as the pulleys are adjustable so you can't measure them.  Thanks Darren

As you have the old belts, you can take them to a local Engineers merchants, such as Brammer or Eriks. They can measure the old belts and supply new ones to replace them. They have been working right through the lock-down, so will be open.

Yes I thought about that but the belts are not in the best of shape and the long one is wrong cross section and completely shot but the smaller ones aren't to bad so may get away with that. Thanks Darren
