Conveyor belt material for air dams, etc

[skyking]

I will measure when it gets daylight. I was going to skirt the beetle right to the dirt for fun.
Front and sides.
Need to figure out a method for quick attach/detach. Love do do a long mpg ABA test.

This new belting I have is the thinnest at .250 All the used is .375 or greater.
I have their number and will ask if they have any 4' wide. I did not see any.
The used stuff is $1 a running foot, but it looks used. I think personally it is too heavy for large expanses of area.

9" above grade just shades my front differential. I would not care if it showed a little bit.
This equates to a 12" tall airdam, and will certainly need some backup to keep it from flopping in the breeze. looks like a 6" strip down the sides will be close enough at 10" above grade.

How much for 45 feet of the 6" belt material, shipped to 52405?

I don't know if I have that much. I will roll it out and measure. I took what he had

Looks like it weighs about 1.8 pounds a square foot for calculations.
The heavier stuff I have is quite a bit heavier, 2.5 maybe? I only need 6' of it on my bumper.

The bareback, as the seller calls it, was easy to cut from the fabric side with a razor knife.

Fabric side?

Easy to cut?

The stuff I picked up from Tractor Supply the fabric is fully embeded, no front or back. It was a devil to cut, had to use an angle grinder.

I once used a heavy fabric backed rubbery material for my hovercraft skirt. The exposed fabric (on inside face) held dirt, the dirt held moisture, the moisture promoted mold and bactrial growth. After a year or two it started to rot smell like a bad vagina.

This is nice stuff. Think of conveyor belt that has the thick rubber on only one side. I will snap a pic.
