Oh dear ...
I have a k2 a kc, kd had sv, Sv2 sx, k1, Aero, and the sv sv2 kf, kf2 kf2ec
To change from belt to shaft in a kit would take slot of work and would be far cheaper to have two cars.
Diffs gearbox housing to take crown wheel and pinions, new centre gearbox, new centre slipper or different, too decks etc etc.
If belts were so fragile touring, 10th/8th ic track and 5th on road woukd not all use belts
