I'm looking for the belt material that was used on a take up real on a
tow plane we are using. It was 3/16" round, orange, rubber like
material. We had to cut the belt to length and splice it together in
place because there is no way to get it on without taking the reel all
apart. We would melt the ends together in place. The guy that used to
supply this belt material has died and we have no way to find it any
more. Is anybody else out there familiar with this stuff and know
where we can get more?


Did you pay under $1 a foot? Possibly urethane.
Did you pay over $5 a foot? possibly silicone.

Buy a sample of each, and get somebody to compare and contrast
