What kind of glue can be used to join flat drive belt and v-belt

glue

For my special project I need to join flat drive belt with a v-belt (the wider part of it's profile to be precise). Due to the nature of their application such combined part will be rotating with most of the power transfered via the v-belt (it is supposed to be a diy tank track). The joint must be able to bend as the whole contraption will be stretched between two 20cm diameter wheels. I plan to reinforce it with screws or rivets.

Could you please advise what kind of glue can do the job?

I'd use Shoe Goo ... it dries rubbery and flexible.

Another alternative would be contact cemement (I use DAP, personally, do not get the non-flamable one that cleans up with water), but it's much harder to work with in general. And they're serious about using it outside -- the fumes are very strong.

And my last choice would be basic rubber cement ... the bond's not great, but if you're reinforcing it, it might be okay. (just don't get the 'repositionable' stuff)
