Help! Need to find a Black and Decker belt

[evolutionclean1]

Hey all, I got one of these from a friend a month ish ago, a B&D DirtVac. I took the motor out and oiled everything, and it runs great now! Unfortunately the belt I got from the shop is too tight, and it makes the brush roll vibrate excessively. I think it's a Dirt Devil style 2 or 3 but it's just not quite right. Can someone direct me to the correct belt? I'd love to use this cleaner and get it running correctly!

There's one on eBay, this might be your only shot at it.

Not worth that cost

I was gifted the machine and I don't see it being worth spending up to $20 on one single belt I'll stick with the vacuums that I can still get affordable belts for. I appreciate it though

Jake, from looking at that Ebay photo, I would be willing to bet a Hoover Celebrity powerhead belt would probably fit and work. Those are still easy to find at vac shops and reasonably priced. The Dirt Devil Style 3 Can Vac powerhead belt may also work too.

It seems like

There's too much side to side play in the brush roll itself. I'm wondering if a couple of small washers would take up that tolerance and stop the vibration of the brush shaking side to side?
