Figure out what they scale to, and buy accordingly.

Cheers, I bought those exact ones earlier, I found these even smaller ones, they should be good for the feifel air cleaner chains. I doubt we'll find much smaller.

I wouldn't get that one mate, the loops are a weird shape. I did see a cheap 10 meter one in the UK but it was bright silver, besides I'll never use a metre of it.

Good tip, they have 1.2 x 1.7mm chain, perfect, not cheap, but I haven't seen smaller anywhere. Shame it's out of stock.

Unless I made a mistake in the arithmetic, that chain scales up to 3/4" by 1" which seems a bit light for towing tanks.

What did I miss in the conversation?
