Re: Splice Timing Belt
After much research onto this topic and testing with no reliable splice method, we emailed Gates. They said that there is no supported splice method for the timing belt. Best solution we found is to take wood staples and staple them together into a piece of wood, then pull out the wood and bend the extra flanges. Glue would help its sturdiness. Make sure you match up the teeth.

Anyone can watch Westcoast Choppers and see adults build things, but FIRST is great because it encourages kids to do the building and adults to do the watching.

GO DANVILLANS!!
