		   Question to the list - does anybody know where the "chandelier" chain

 supplied from Kitfox with the kit for the tailwheel drag lines can be

 sourced. I had to extend mine and am now forced to use a cheap hardware

 chain as I haven't been able to find a supplier for the original.


	


At Lowe's here, they have two type - case hardened nickel plate and galvanized mild

steel.



What are the attributes you're looking for in a chain? Wear resistance? Corrosion

resistance? High tensile strength? Or maybe, you're looking for something other than

simple closed link chain?

With airplanes having  4130 frames you can just about forget corrosion

resistant...  All the corrosion resisting is in the finish.  So naturally go

for the case hardened nickel plate.  Oh yes ...  keep your plane off the

Utah salt flats in the rainy season.

Hi Paul 

 

I was really just looking for the same as supplied with the Kit. It is far heavier duty than I have been able to find here and also tends to stay on the spring far more securely than standard closed link chain
