Leave it to the OEM guys to come up with a way of selling parts....knowing how many times that would happen! Shame on you Nick Lappos....Shame.

It would surprise me that Igor's Foundry and Bridge Building company would donate the chains free to anyone wanting them. Talk about profit margin!

But.....Nick you may be onto something....if we was to take all those piled up shackles from down in Oz....bead blast them, powder coat them, cover them in heat shrink plastic.....youse guys at Igor's could sell them for about $142,000 dollars each claiming they were Brit Mil Spec.

That would work a charm....latch one leg iron clamp around the damper brace on two adjacent blades....and there you are.

You could probably get a government grant for the recycling aspect of it all.
