A method for splicing belt ends of an endless belt, as in the field, wherein uniform tension is provided to the reinforcing members such as strands or cables in the spliced section. The respective spaced ends or sections have all belting material removed leaving each end with a laterally extending end section spaced from its adjacent main body section of the belt and interconnected only by the cable. The dressed end sections are overlapped and thence the center section of the overlapped portions are cast into a belt section with cables embedded therein. The laterally extending end sections are cut leaving two uncast sections which are then cast or molded to encapsulate the remaining bare cables to form a continuous belt by such splicing.
