We tend to use the
aluminum connectors for the hollow (instead of welding) and it's worked like a charm for us.
The trick with hollow & the connectors is to 1) get a straight cut on the tube for both ends, and 2) not to reuse an end once you've pulled the connector out. Snip it a little bit so the scratched-up part is gone, and you've got a really solid belt even when re-using the connector.
