Rubber Treadle Belt?
Has anyone tried these? I bought one from Lehman's and I'm waiting for it to arrive. Seems like it would grip better than leather and be a bit harder to treadle. They look like they would last forever.

They say they don't carry the leather ones anymore because of quality issues and the rubber is no more expensive than the leather was. There's a video on utube of a person installing one of these and it looks like one end just fits in to the other.

I got one for my treadle (if I ever get it restored) from an Amish store in Michigan and it's a tube with a little metal connector that after you size it, just push together. The connecter looks to be about a 1/3 of an inch or less long. I paid $4.05 for it.
