Is there anyone making a Belt Drive for the Rotax 277UL's today?

Does anyone have some Old 277UL Hegar Belt Drive Parts laying around collecting dust, or Clear Photos of the Parts, any Drawings?

Were all 277UL Hegar's mounted Engine Up and Drive Down, or was there an Engine UP and Drive UP option also?

There is a lot of 277F's from Snowmobiles that could use a Belt Drive, but not the Gear Drives. But could maybe be Adapted.

This is the Conventional way I have seen Hegars mounted on a 277.

Also here is a 277F Sled Case PTO vs the 277UL Case PTO. The Groove around the PTO was for an O-Ring for the Gear Drives. You could maybe Weld Up around it and then Machine the Groove, or maybe Weld/Epoxy Glue an Insert. Could maybe 3D Print something in Nylon.
