They have the XL (as well as ALL the other sizes) belting in 200 foot
lengths, and they sell clamping blocks (aluminum blocks in the shape
of the belt teeth, for clamping the two halves together) They sell
it by the inch... usually steel reinforced polyurethane that will NOT
stretch... good stuff at a reasonable price... We use their stuff all
the time...
