Ok, my next step would be get 2 bunnings garden hooks and hang something heavy off the M36 belt to stretch it haha.
You have done all the right things so far, and I am at a loss - especially if the other one works with a m36
:-) Thats not the worst idea - I was trying to take a picture to show the difference in sizes of the belts when I stretched them out off something under tension. Amazing how much the 'assumed' M36's had stretched - and yet the brand new ones were impossible to use
Honestly, you'd be amazed how much you're saying that is appreciated as I do not consider myself knowledgeable in this area - I muddle through as best I can - and so you wonder am I doing something wrong or half arsing - as it's gone so badly. So that it's just a really tricky mess is actually oddly good to know. So much thanks. :-)
PS. Not sure how I'd be able to 'safely' stretch the M36's - as any weight hung from it would place a lot of the stress in just one spot i.e belt is hung over one or a couple of hooks. It'd be a fine line figuring out how much to hang to do anything but not to damage the belt.
