Mate take your gypsy into a Nobles or bullivants branch and let them match it up............proberbly get away with 6mm short link gr70....Get either companys to chase some up through PWB.....I would be matching it that way before purchasing anything.

Ok Thanks Dan
I know for a fact 6mm short link won't work, Lewmar told me.

Yeah its just a touch over 1/4 inch...7mm GR80 chain is avaliable but is expensive and usually only comes in black(unpainted lifting quality chain)...is it possible to get a metric(6mm) gypsy?...........I worked for one of the above companys for 4 years until recently and getting specialised chain can be very expensive as generally it's a one off purchase and being chain it costs a fair bit to freight in and usually bought in 500kg batches.

6mm gr70 gal shortlink is common and redilly avaliable..........do some homework on the gypsy you may save some money and headaches getting your chain.

Yes mate it can be changed over to 6mm setup, I can buy the rope and chain set from the USA also.Just weighing up the difference in $$$.
