Not even sure if ASAP is in business in the same way now; however, any rotax dealer in the US will be able to procure it for you. John Mc Bean at Kitfox aircraft is a rotax dealer and I would suggest calling him. FWIW - KItfox has a whole lot of things available that are not in their catalog - that's why a call is important. One of our list sponsors is LEAF out of Wisconsin who is also a Rotax dealer. Lockwood in FL is also a Rotax dealer; but I would start with our list sponsors first.
Like Floog - never a hickup from the belt driven alternator. Rotax, in their somewhat AR ways with the 5 year rubber replacement, includes the belt belt as a 5 year replacement item. I go by condition on that. Lot of standard airworthiness aircraft owners run their belts for an eternity - well beyond 5 years.
Postscript - don't know if it as factor with the mods on your engine; but, the bolt holes in the gearbox need to be unoccupied with anything else for the brackets to fit. Recheck my photos - it's not complicated.
