Pay a few bucks for the barbs and you'll save yourself time in the build process and stress later.

We used a simple fusing technique and have never had any belts break on us despite attempting very hard to do so. We created a simple mold by drilling a hole through a delrin block then cutting it into two halfves down the center of the hole. We then heated the two ends of the cord with either a lighter or soldering iron, placed it in the mold and applied presurre for about a minute.
