I am sorry that it has taken me a bit to get back to you concerning this request,
but thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I have been doing a lot of research about this book, and I have found that there
are a couple of large errors in the inventory which should never have been accepted.
I have reviewed at least 40-50 of these books as a sealed set over the last few
days, and I will be taking a little time to first correct the original inventory
before making any other changes.

Judging from many of these books that I have reviewed, the black belts do not
seem to be either part x89 in your request or part 2815 that was added to the
inventory in August 2017:

What gives me confidence in this conclusion is also a prior thread attached to
a prior change request for this book:

Thanks for your patience as I try to figure all of this out. I may have to purchase
a couple of the copies I was looking at to get the complete picture.

Cheers,
Randy

Okay, I purchased two of these books, one with the black large wheels and one
with the light bluish gray large wheels. The books have different back covers
and some different pages inside. Therefore, I believe these two books are from
different print runs of the book over a period of years. In both of them, the
black rubber belts are the same. It is quite obvious at first glance that these
belts are neither part x89 or any other belt currently in the catalog. I have
never seen one like it. I will get this new belt added to the catalog and then
correct the inventory. After that, this request will be rejected since it is
not correct.

Cheers,
Randy
