 4318 forum posts 291 photos 1 articles | Does anyone know a source of 2mm (width) non-stainless steel chain? Brass or stainless model boat anchor chain is easy to get, but I want the strength of steel and to be able to black it (I have a tube of Jenolite Koolblak). Worst case I can use brassbut I want to be able to lift a scale load with a bit of strength in reserve I need about 1m for my crane model (2mm chain at 1/12 scale would represent 1" chain for a safe working load of 15cwt) Thanks Neil |
