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.

I had problems getting an O-Ring style belt for an Oracle table.I went to an industrial supply shop(Specialty Tool Santa Barbara) and purchased o-ring material sold by the foot.They had an Adhesive Loctite 404 specificaly for it.Worked like a charm.The belt material was about 75 cents a foot.The adhesive was around $18.On the other hand Oracle answered all my e-mails in french and wanted $68 for a belt.Though it was a precision fabricated drive mechanism.
