Need help finding this cinch buckle

Hello. I send a PM to the person that posted this image but I haven't heard back from him. Does anyone know where I can find the buckle in the image at the link below?

I tried the www.onrope1.com site but it's not working. I'll try again later. Thanks.

Nice choice going with the cinch buckles. Keep trying to pull up their site. Their known to have issues with it.

Sorry about the no reply, Singletrack. I could not find the e-mail stored here on my private messages, and then I've been out of town, and then I somehow lost the original e-mail. Anyway, what the others said: I got mine from onrope1.

Thanks Bill. No problem about the slow reply. It was took me over a month to notice a message for me in a windsurfing forum.

I've never understood why you don't use an adapter of sorts to use cinch buckles with rope.

It is important for the webbing to align properly for the cinch-action to maximize its holding properties. Rope on the non-business side of the cinch buckle doesn't seem like it would guarantee that. If it fails to align properly, the cinching action is not distributed evenly across the width of the webbing. In this photo, it is hard to see because it is white thread on white webbing but there is an extra reinforced straight stitch (my machine has a triple stitch feature) that is as close to the cinch buckle as possible (with my sewing machine) to help keep it aligned within the attachment loop.

Dave - were you concened about the cord putting uneven forces on the webbing? Specifically, since webbing is supposed to have the load balanced across the width, I was concerned about the cord stressing the very edges more than the middle. Adding in the friction of synthetic on synthetic, I was concerned about it failing at that point.

I still used them, though. I just folded the webbing in half where the cord loops thru and watched it carefully.

No, I was concerned that small diameter rope tied directly to the cinch buckle might get cock-eyed and cause the cinched webbing to not be cinched uniformly across the width of the webbing. The small piece of webbing in my photo is an adapter for attaching the rope to the cinch buckle. One end of the cinch buckle is sewn into a loop on that webbing. I do not show the webbing that would be cinched on the business end of the cinch buckle.
