Hi all,

I broke a snow chain t'other day due to my stupidity - it came loose and I didn't bother getting out to put it back on properly. So it wrapped itself around the suspension before snapping, meaning that I had to get out and take the wheel off to get the darn thing off - lesson learned

Anyway, it's only a couple of simple connections which have broken, so I was going to repair it. The parts in question are made of rectangular section steel, roughly 4mm x 5mm. Not sure if that is "thin bar" or "thick wire". I've been looking around for some to buy, but can't find anything anywhere. Any pointers?

Cheers,

Andy

B&Q : LINK

Or failing that some key bar from any ironmongers?

Heh, didn't even think of trying B&Q! That's spot on, cheers.
Did find some key steel, wasn't sure if it would bend or not though.

No probs, B&Q are awesome for bit's n bobs like that, I needed some flat before and got a metre of 20x3 for about £4, given that it's at the bottom of my hill (2 mile) it's always worth considering for me.

Now, what to do with 900mm of 20x3 flat.......................................................
