Craig, I'd have a hunt around for some old conveyor belt rubber. Try a quarry or similar establishment.

If you can get polyurethane, I brought a set of rally art poly when I got my car in 2008, they have seen over 40000Kms of
gravel road and have no signs of wear.

Insertion rubber is pretty weak. The internal reinforcing is only cotton.

I remember seeing these at a local truck spares place here on the GC for about $20ea a couple of yrs ago, maybe worth checking for a truck parts/accessories place nearby and see what they are offering.
