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.

Sonofjim,
The new silicone belts are suppose to be an improvement over the rubber belts supplied with the Rim Drive Upgrade. However, they are not available yet ........

Stringreen. I inquired and Mike told me that all three rubber rings will get replacements of the silicon variety. They will be available late September. I tried calling them prior to this thread but they are closed until September 16th. No luck either trying to get a dealer to break a sealed box and sell me belts. They don't even have a part number available to get them! I'm sort in a jam as the tread acknowledges.............
