Re: source for treadmill belt

["Kevin Williams" <kwilliams-at-mccwv.com>]

the sell a special binder clip for joining the ends, it is 4 inches wide and
is hard to discribe, but I will try

it is a pin with 20 hooks on 1 side, opposed by 20 hooks on the oppisite
side, and these hooks, hook into each end of the belt and the tension keeps
them imbedded, so in a pinch it would be removable and reattached I suppose,
the clip is about a dollar or so, I didn't pay attention to that as if I
used it, I would do the 1/2 overlap used in t005
