Thanks for the info Chris
. i haven't talked to Izzy since he built our tri axle end dump trailer. Only seems appropriate to ask him for help building something to load his trailer
In the meantime I got a chance to start cutting this tire tube. I cut the valve stem out and trimmed the stem layer down and now can use the inner circumference for a belt. It's a little shorter than 4ft but will work great to test things out.
First cut to make things easier to handle...
its 4" wide now as I followed the centreline visible mold lines. Final cut next I think will be 2 3/4.
As you can see by the smiley face strip you don't have to go very far off centreline and things get unusable.
