I was going to use oxygen tubing ( left over from my father's medical issues) but what I have is "ribbed" on the inside and i could not find a good connector. for the aquarium tubing I just snipped off an inch of tubing then slit the small piece length wise and rolled it up tightly and inserted it inside the two ends of the belt.
I just switched the spring coil belt with the aquarium tubing. I used your method of connecting them. That just took a bit of work to roll tightly enough to insert into the ends of belt, but it holds very well! Thanks!! Much easier than sewing the ends together.
