Cannot find: Conveyor belt ~3.5 wide

I am looking to make a conveyor that is ~27 7/8 long and ~3.5 wide.
I cannot find any conveyor belts that wide though. I thought about using treds for mini tanks, thought about timer belts, v belts, etc.. but haven't found anything that wide..


Then I would need some rolers for the belt to go on.. do you'll have any ideas for that?

thanks for any pointers
Lee

    Lee,
    I've bought conveyer belting through McMaster Carr online. They have 4" belt you could cut down to 3 1/2. It's about 1.50 per foot.

    That isn't to bad for 6foot.. I thought it was a lot more from them.. i· guess i have an old catalog [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    What are you'll using for rollers? I want to power this conveyor by a DC motor..

    thanks-Lee
