Haflinger "Safety Chain" link size

Post by TechMOGogy »

Hi,
Can someone with the safety chains measure a link for me?
External LxWxthickness (mm is best but I will take anything)
A picture of the clip would be super too!
Thanks,
Dan

I found the same chain on one of the overseas ebay sites a few months ago. Might look at the Austria, Australia, Swiss, German, and UK sites as those are the ones I check semi-regularly.

I found this which appears to be quite close, but not exact.

Hi Dan,
No worries about the chains. I have a set of NOS originals for you.

Hi Steve,
That is GREAT!
Will email you off board
Funny story, I am in Calgary this weekend doing an office conversion for a company we purchased and while eating lunch a young teenager walked by with chains as a belt - they almost looked like the right size. I almost went and asked her but decided against it :mrgreen:
Cheers,
