Material choice for spare lathe belt

Must have been pretty noisy when the ratchet came around.
No ratchet. It must have gone another direction when it was shed from the load on the street. I just found the end with the hook on it. Fortunately, it was not chewed up too badly, and there was enough for a belt. The belt was spliced with contact cement and rayon cord. Seems to work, but it is a little thin and it slips a bit.
