The leading riders only use their chains for a few meetings and they are regularly advertised on ebay.

Can give you a couple of options Stan , but please stipulate your anticipated speed first , so we can choose the right strength of chain .
Very slow Walter, probably about the same speed as when I rode your Wasp against the then current world sidecar champion :D but with the extra weight it will have to carry I might require the heavy duty type ;D

Regards Stan.

Thanks for that, yes I wondered about Regina as I see they list a specific speedway chain. Years ago i spannered for a Pommy guy by the name of Kenny Carter at a few meetings here. Someone had sponsored him with a heap of Izumi chain while he was here and at Mildura he seized solid 3 primary chains before we swapped back to his used Renold ones with no more problems.

When you see the Lanz on your front lawn, you know the chain is being delivered . :D

Sounds good, the only thing is when you park it on the lawn that you parked on last time, you might get yelled at because I don't live there anymore ;D
