What is the load?
Hello,
Skene's rates 1/2" thick plates for 7/32" wire, and a 7/16" pin; what size are your wires? I'm guessing much larger, but then Skene's is very conservative on this subject. If there were a vast surplus of strength I might feel good about re-using the existing chainplates, but I really need to know the loads.
If they aren't reusable, and if the dimensions make sense, simply replacing them with aluminum ones is ideal, assuming you isolate the metals better in future.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
