Re: ISO 120T 5mm Pitch HTD Timing Belts (8.5mm width)
I believe that most generic "9mm" belts are actually 8.5mm, rather than exactly 9mm. Someone from vex can correct me if im wrong, but i dont think they did anything special to their belts to make them fit this way.

If that doesn't work out, you can purchase raw pulley stock and make a custom pulley of slightly greater width.
