Should be able to source it through a local bearing house - anyone that carries Diamond chain. See it at http://www.diamondchain.com. Also, http://www.pic-design.com and http://www.nordex.com have this size.

Thanks for tips on fishing line idea. trucker n, dabears. i have not had a chance to go looking but i will before i get any more cables what i have bought is not working

Thanks for chain tip sparkycuda i need to look into this before i anchor winch could give me a little more room

Thanks Kerst

Update: i wanted a sliding fifth wheel plate so i used some gear rack on its side with sliding block wedges to lock it all up. i keep thinking there has to be an easier way????

in the pic one block is slid up in lock the other is back. when done these will be covered.
