Yes they do, but without knowing which type you have remove the top (or bottom) plate by undoing the screws, then poke a point or pin into the mechanism to remove the locked one.

We sometimes move them round if they are supplied with the buckle on the wrong lap belt.

Just watch for any springs wanting to escape on some models.

Gel coat has gone off and they were layed up today btw

Ahh well thats a better option

Treat them like you would a race suit.

Use a soap powder on them NOT a detergent.

Daz is a soap powder, Persil is a detergent (ask Sarah)

By metal bits, I was really only refering to the buckles
