VPI SSM with Rim Drive - New belts ???


One of my drive belts just broke on my SSM with the Rim Drive. Has any other members gotten their hands on the new improved silicone drive belts? I have dilemma on my hands. For starters a big Labor Day BBQ. I Crazy Glued the broken belt back together and spun a couple dics. However, both belts show serious cracking. Will the Crazy Glue hold? Most likley not. Suggestions on where to get replacements over night? Thank you in advance for your input.

Industrial supply houses will sell large o-rings. Not sure as big as a "rim" drive and not meant for these purposes (will twist and rotate) but might be good enough for the weekend. Look for a .06 to .09" cross section diameter in the circumference you want. Usually in stock and delivered the next day. MSC and McMaster Carr are the biggest.
