I can make you a drawing with sizes if you want.

Thanks for the offer but at that price I dont think it worth the time making them, then getting them plated  ;) but thanks for the link  :D

The other thing with off the shelf parts is that you can replace them when you loose them.

I can agree with that, and if they break or twist I can blame someone else  :twisted: also takes a bit of time to get any machining done at work as we have now split the Fab shop from the machine shop, they are now 8 miles apart  :(

Where do you get you plating done?

We use Metal finishers in Llandudno, for big stuff(has to be hung on racks ) we pay about 38p a kilo ie. part weighing 10Kg costs £3.80

smaller stuff (barrel work) is 31p a kilo he does silver and pasivated (gold) the gold lasts longer on the salt water test thats why most steel carabiners are gold coloured.

I'm getting my steering guard re plated this summer after a battery leak took some of the plating off. :roll:
