Sourcing Belts for 10 rib applications

So, as you may know by now 10 rib belts of every brand are a little hard to source. No issues with 8 ribs but I ordered a 10 rib for my new Griptech 95 mm upper and thought it might work, wrong too short and the next one up was 2 inches longer with nothing in between. So I was pulling my hair out (no hair to pull) and finally I called Dayco and found one of their techs who has run into this many times before. He recommended using a 12 rib of the correct length I needed and use a sharp razor knife to trim the last two ribs and Wala you have a 10 rib belt. Then I had a flashback from Viet Nam, not really but I remember talking to Jason Leiva about his 10 rib setup and he had the same issue and Vengeance did the same thing on his car since the 10 ribs were not the right lengths he needed. So I have belt coming tomorrow and find out if its the right one. Should be good to go after that, I ordered a new trailer today and should have it in about 3 weeks so I'll be ready to finish out the year with 3 races and a track rental. The 9s are calling my name, saying Laynlo go for it, go for it. You have all winter to fix it. Just shitting about fixing it.
