Re: Where can I order 2" wide Blue Nitrile Conveyor Belting?
Did everyone cut theirs to size?
- Yes

Is there another supplier that has 2” available?
- Not that I know of.

What tread materials you would recommend?
- Everybody has their own preference. Blur nitrile lasts longer. We have been using it for 2 years now. Next season we are going to switch to the ones from AndyMark or order a whole roll of rubber roughtop/wedgetop from McMaster.

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?
- Wider head may help. It depends on how your chassis is built. We have had rivets pop out before. We just drilled through it again and put a new rivet in.
