The chain ramps tend to get brittle and when removing the retainer will break. There has been no change in them for 30 or more years so the company must be happy with the longevity and the cost isnt out of this world.
At least they dont break off like the rubber ones that were original to the 71T...

Thanks ,they are often advertised as being an '' improved version'' ,plastic and oil will never be a great mix .
I know that cause I have a modern car ,engines full of plastic parts ready to crumble.
