Thanks though for the link. This place is about 4x cheaper that anything we found just yesterday for these.
We bought four clamps ourselves. As we are using 25 mm belt (~1"), we got 50 mm wide clamps. I'm pretty sure these were round profile; I'll check for sure on Tuesday (school closed this w/e) and report back.
