The closest automotive belt is probably going to be a timing belt. The only way to figure out which one might work would probably be to have a manufacturer's catalog. I used to work in parts stores years ago. The software is OK, but if you really need a part that's odd or unusual, there's no substitute for having a huge rack full of catalogs. They often have raw measurements and specs that the software doesn't include. That's what you'd need, for things like the width of the belt. I noticed that one of the sites that I looked at for gates belt drive for bikes talked about the pitch.

It looks like Gates may have a website that allows you to filter based on some of those raw measurments.
