Whitch one do I use ??

[GT66PONY]

I have a roll of after market frame welting that is 2 inches wide and made of nylon. and I have a roll of belting that is 1.5 inches wide Made of reinforced rubber! Both are about the same thickness.
Which would be better to use?

i would'nt use either

 

[GT66PONY]

OK, Why, What would you use?

 

[Mitch//pa]

this is the proper size and material available which mimics what was originally used closer than rubber or a wider width nylon. and it costs 16.50 to do the whole frame

Your nylon belting might be of interest to someone rebuilding Gabrial or Watson snubbers.

I use what mitch posted on the 30 AA I did years ago. I found you should cut the roll in half and tape each half to the frame rails, then let it set for a day or two to normalize, then mark and punch the holes. I unrolled the welt and taped and punched the holes in an hour, but when I went to bolt parts on a couple days later I found the stuff had to be pulled hard to get the holes lined up again. It shrunk a bit.
