Where can I order 2" wide Blue Nitrile Conveyor Belting?

My team is looking for a more durable tread for the IFI wheels (maybe we’ll try attaching it to the AndyMark KoP wheels too), and I saw that many teams recommended using Rough Blue Nitrile Conveyor Belting from McMaster, but when I look at their catalog the thinnest they have is 3".
  • Did everyone cut theirs to size?
  • Is there another supplier that has 2” available?
  • What tread materials you would recommend?
  • We had our standard IFI treads for a 6x2" wheel come off, so we are looking at using pop rivets with a wider head - will Aluminum Blind Rivet with Steel Mandrel Wide Domed, 1/8" Dia, .251"-.375" thick, (McMaster part #97517A323) work better than the standard from IFI?

Thanks much!
