Re: [A/S] Safety Chains
Terry,
If you're going to bolt the chains to the 'A' frame, you should get a
purpose-made fitting that accepts a 1/2" bolt. The chains themselves
should be 5/16" "proof" chain, not the hardware store variety.
The fitting I'm thinking of would be something like a 3/8" X 1 1/2" X 3"
long flat piece, bent to about a 30 degree angle, with holes in each end
for the bolt and chain, respectively.
It's easier to just weld the chains on; if you're not a pretty decent
welder, get someone who IS to do the job. Half the job is upside-down,
and that's not easy for someone who doesn't do it fairly regularly.
