chain available in the UK

(1/3) > >>

Alphawolf45:
 I am, in the USA . Friend of mine in the UK is building a small Rudys model steam tractor from plans. He emailed me saying that the chain he needs for steerage is not available in good quality in the UK... Wants me to find a source over here that will ship to England... Now I would be happy to buy the chain here and ship it to him myself but I wondered if there is a good source in his home country ? He is calling it plain 1/8 inch chain but I don't know what that is.. Can I get some answers here?

Lew_Merrick_PE:
Not being sure as to shippiong across the pond, but Martin Sprocket (Houstan, TX), McMaster-Carr, and MSC leap to mind.  ???

Google brings up lots of decent looking links (!) here is but one example:

https://www.wiggle.co.uk/sram-pc1-18-nickel-single-speed-chain/?lang=en&curr=GBP&dest=1&sku=5360129460&kpid=5360129460&utm_source=google&utm_term=&utm_campaign=Shopping+-+All+Products&utm_medium=base&utm_content=mckv|sEq5YQbCv_dc|mcrid|295292317327|mkw||mmt||mrd|5360129460uk|mslid||&mkwid=sEq5YQbCv_dc&pcrid=295292317327&prd=5360129460uk&pgrid=58852352866&ptaid=pla-522506124930&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6diJqKvJ5QIVy7HtCh2FDgkNEAQYAyABEgIXJfD_BwE

Reynolds Chain are the people to speak to if he is stuck:

John Rudd:
Maybe an email to Rudy, asking where he sourced his?

Or maybe something like Meccano chain?

Alphawolf45:
Thank you men I will research all suggested sources.

  The friend of mine is one of about 3 surviving members of a Yahoo group I began years ago. It was an invitation only private group for elite machinists and if you didn't post for a month or so I'd ban them . Kept the group down to fewer than a dozen members but it was fun because we'd have as many as 60 posts in a single day..  But the brightest guy on the forum - not me - died and the group died with him. So this gentleman and another also from the UK mean a lot to me. I am hoping to help him out.
