We use strap wrenches at work. Used to tighten large diameter (6-8") clamps. Basically, they are a woven belt looped through a cast metal handle. They have to have resin applied so as to not slip. This resin may be the same as the amber mentioned above. Available from MSC or McMaster. |

Hi It was resin John and I were on about I think the confusion arose when we said it looked like amber. Darren I may be able to lay my hands on some crocadile teeth to join your belt, I'll have a look to see what I can find. Cheers :wave: Stew |

Hi Stew, Are you thinking of these chappies? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FASTNER-FOR-BALATA-BELTING-DRIVE-BELT-no-27-BELT-CLIP_W0QQitemZ130280547004QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Garage_Equipment_Tools_Tool_Boxes_Storage?hash=item130280547004&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A10|39%3A1|240%3A1318 This seller is a hardware shop local to me, it's the same as I used on the belta that I showed ripping apart. I have some spare. I was reluctant to used them thinking maybe rivets wouldn't be so aggressive to the belt. The clips are quite sharp edged. But then again I can run the new belt quite slack, so maybe it won't be a problem anymore? |
