Several techniques I have seen over the years, all across the spectrum of quality:
- A two-part machined clamping block, one side with the timing belt profile milled into it, either made by the team or purchased
- Same as above, but with flat, knurled, or grippy surface instead of a profile
- A series of long bolts strategically positioned to interlock with the teeth, similar to #1
- Using open-ended belting, formed into loops at each end with an eyebolt through them
- Bolting directly onto or through the belt with woodscrews, zip ties, set screws, etc. Works better with larger belts.
- Epoxy
