Modifying Ilford CAP40 to RA-4

[barnarax]

Hello every one,
first time posting here so I hope I'm on the correct page.
To make it short I would like to modify an ilford CAP40 to RA-4 but I can't find the parts needed for the conversion on european sites.
Any one here has gone through that process and still has the links to the parts?
I'm looking for:

• 39 Tooth, 0.313” bore, XL Pulley for 0.375” belt
• 55 Tooth, 0.375” wide XL Belt
• Two 0.25in thick spacers, with a 0.25in hole in the center

Also if anyone has a video of someone modifying theirs I would greatly appreciate.

Thanks in advance

The links don't work for me for some reason, but these appear to be the pulley gears:

https://www.servocity.com/11-55t-3-8-wide-xl-timing-belt/ (different seller, but item description seems to match).

I know I bought the parts for my Durst RCP20 conversion at Conrad. They have a selection of such items; you may want to check them out. Have a look here: https://www.conrad.com/en/o/toothed-belt-discs-v-belt-pulleys-1210042.html

Is this one of the Thermaphot-produced machines, like the Durst RCP series? It looks very, very familiar, going by the one or two photos I can find of the innards.

The fan, belt and gears look the same as the ones in my RCP20.

I converted one of the little Durst RCP-20 machines like what's pictured by Koraks, I bought toothed pulleys and belts from automationdirect.com

Fun project. Complete waste of time. Still it's fun playing with these old beasts.

How long does it take for paper to go through? Could be use it as is?

Even if it's still a thermaphot based machine, the CAP40 inside is a bit different than korak's photo of the RCP.
The space wheree is located the motor and belt is way tighter than the RCP. I openened up a CAP40 in the hope
to complete the modification. I gave up when I found a more compact thermaphot...
