Re: Chain plate replacement confusion

And exactly the reason why we love our bronze chainplates as well as bronze bolts and other fasteners aboard the boat. They last longer, safer, than does stainless.

Re: Chain plate replacement confusion

Just sent a PM to you Sulaire. But yes, those can be shipped to Europe. It's just direct cost of shipping. USPS small packages aren't too costly at all.

Re: Chain plate replacement confusion

I looked into the catalog that we're uploading this week for our seller, Ron, who does a lot of fasteners. I had pricing for up to 6" length stainless steel carriage bolts. 8" would require a call...

Re: Chain plate replacement confusion

So that's $600-$1200 worth of 316 SS bar cut to length (wide range depending on where you get it) and something like $8/bolt for 5" or 6" and but then it gets spendy when you go over 6" in bolt...

Re: Chain plate replacement confusion

Yes using carriage bolts is common but stainless steel (that the chain plate is made of) is really susceptible to cracks in corners so round hole is preferred for the longevity of the plate.

Re: Chain plate replacement confusion

So 5/8" thick x 2" wide chainplates in 316 stainless and the bolts were (also 5/8" diameter?) 5 to 8 inches in length?

Re: Chain plate replacement confusion

Our boat had Tobin Bronze (it's really a brass with up to 5% Tin added) which has similar strength to Silicon Bronze but is less costly to boot. Her original chain plates lasted from 1931 until we...

Re: Chain plate replacement confusion
