Default Source for these rigging components

Dear All,

I am looking for any sources for the elongated grab hooks or the plates that joing the cables to the chains.

This is a British set up and I am trying to replicate it for display purposes.

Robin,

You might try http://unirope.com/inspection-testing/ or a similar outfit that re-certifies chains & slings. They may have customers with similar hooks - maybe some that did not pass??

Any reputable rigging supplier routinely destroys items which do not "pass".
This is done in the interest of safety, so items do not make it back into the supply chain where they may end up being used. Liability is a factor as well.

Certainly not a traditional eye grab hook. The photos are not good enough to read the manufacturer's name on the hooks. I suspect if you get that, you may be able to find that exact hook, but they are going to cost you.
