An improved timing belt (220) assembly is provided that includes a discontinuous timing belt (220) having gear teeth (30), first and second ends (226, 228) and intermeshed sets of connecting members (232, 234). A first set of connecting members (232) have attachment ends connected to the first end (226) of the timing belt (220) with intermediate portions (240, 244) extending outwardly from the first end (226) of the timing belt (220). A second set of connecting members (234) has attachment ends connected to the second end (228) of the timing belt (220) with intermediate portions (240, 244) extending outwardly from the second end (228) of the belt. The intermediate portions (240, 244) of the first and second sets of connection members (232, 234) align with one another to form a connection aperture (246) that receives a selectively detachable fastener (248) to selectively connect the first and second ends (226, 228) of the timing belt (220) together.
