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.

Use thread or fishing line. Some VPI users replace the nitrile belts with them and proclaim it superior (I've never tried it).

Check other threads for the exact type of material used.

Hope you're up and spinning on Labor Day!
