So your driving down the road towing your rebuilt with a 2 hole conduit clamp and used radiator hose trailer and it comes apart... on the road. It sways a bit comes loose and then hits the car alongside, killing a kid in the back and wrecking that car. I wonder if saving that $60 was worth it?

Being a "woodworker", I was going to put a wood block above the strap taking up most of the room. If the strap breaks it can't go very far.
Yes, I believe it is conveyor belt material. Those who say I must buy from the factory part assume that they use better material than I can buy myself. That is certainly possible, but I doubt it.
The bottom piece is pretty much just a spacer, with thick aluminum reinforcing it. Even if the rubber vanished, it wouldn't affect much of anything.
The cheapest I can buy the right size for on Amazon is $30. That is the same price as 2 top pieces from the factory. So, I ordered the top pieces and will reuse the bottom pieces. Buying my own material would give me a bunch of extra, but I doubt I will ever have any need for it. Using theres will save me from figuring where to put holes.
