Hi TeriAnn:
That's because duct tape is the handyman's secret weapon. It wouldn't be secret
if we told everybody about it, would it?
Cheers,
Mark

I believe it would "ruin all the fun".
Evidently men in general derive a great deal of pleasure inventing
ingenious ways to cobble a functional field fix without using correct
replacement parts. This seems especially true of series Land Rover owners.
My initial reply to you is what I usually get back when I make the same
kind of suggestion on the Land Rover list.
You and I can carry spare belts but some seem just to prefer to carry a
length of rope and rely upon ingenuity. I'm surprised no one mentioned
making a belt out of twisted duct tape. Duct tape seems to be a
favorite of the LR crowd.
