Thanks!

My guess is that the original belt was actually made for use as a belt. Something like a sewing machine or vacuum cleaner belt.

You are probably correct.
So what type of O ring material do I use?

Do not use an O-ring for a belt. O-rings are made to seal things. They have no fiber increasing the strength.

So what is the diameter of the belt and the length of the belt?
