I didn't realize that the belts were tied together in pairs. Anyway,
The one Robinson R-22 that I got a close look at many years ago used 2 parallel V-belts to couple the engine to transmission.

snipped-for-privacy@snyder.on.ca fired this volley in news: snipped-for-privacy@4ax.com:
I haven't tracked that sort of stuff in years, since I'm not flying much anymore, and only rental planes. Are you saying it's illegal in Canada, or by virtue of being illegal in the US, Canadians can't do it too?
It used to be possible to privately modify pretty much _anything_ without STC'ing the changes, then re-inspect as experimental.
(Yeah... I know about the costs of STCs. I have one of those famous #2 yellow pencils from PanAm in my flight bag. They're said to have been worth almost $400 each the first few years they were issued to flight crews).
