You can order GT2 belts from SDP/SI. That's what we did this last year. They come in a ton of different sizes (as should be expected) and widths (they carry 5mm, 9mm, and 15mm, if I remember correctly).

We were very happy this last season with our belts ordered from SDP/SI. There are some changes we'd make to how we drove wheels and such, but compared to our use of HTD belts last year (in a low-torque, low speed usage), we were much happier with the GT2 profile. It seems, at least from my team's experience, a little more forgiving.
