Well, it WAS a CAMs decision that creates this problem!

But I went for the rotary buckle for cost/lifespan reasons, and you are right Datto, they stick all the time, but I guess someone smarter than me had their reasons for enforcing another silly rule?

We bought these if they do have problems with the buckle can you use a silicon spray to clean and lubricate or does it damage the belts. Does anyone have a solution for this problem. Jones how do you get the chook poo out of the buckles and the webbing.

They are OK to clean, I just hit the inside of the buckle with the pressure washer, and use a bit of WD40.
The problem is during racing, when a bit clump of mud lands on them!
Chook poo is not the problem anymore, the foxes got all the chooks. Now its the wasps nests.
