I'm mostly into Model A;s but also have '26 T roadster. I have heard many times of the temporary fix of using your leather belt to repair a lost rod bearing to get home but have another question about transmission bands. The original bands were woven cotton so I was wondering if i could use the older style woven cotton military belt hat has the slider buckle, w/o the buckle of course? They seem to be the same fabric construction & dimensions. I don't think the newer nylon ones would work due to the heat generated but hoping someone could offer an opinion. Thanks
