Is seat belt material really practical? I thought of this too since I don't want to deal with attachment chain shipping from overseas and prefer not to wait for our local gym to throw treadmill belts away. I thought of the seat belt idea because there is a wrecking yard close to here.
My question is however. Would seat belt tracks become logged with water and moisture and would this eventually shorten the life of my tracks. Also the tank these tracks are going on is a 1/4 scale 200lb monster powered by a gasoline engine. So yeah. I need these to last for a long time. How tough would seat belts be?
