Here is my way of adding the little details of saftey chains on doors, brake gaurds etc. Not sure when or when I found out about doing them this way. It is not my idea but for me it works.
I start by making the loop that would hold the pin in place. These can be made any size, I just pick a drill that makes a loop slightly bigger than the pin it goes over. You will also see my source of copper.
Next job is to wind the tails together, the tighter the twist the smaller the links look.
Next up is to flatten the tail and make what looks like links. I have a nice pair of smooth plyers for this.
Next we have how it looks when finished. I then just bend it to shape.
Here is how I fit them. Locate the loop over the pin a little dab of solder cream and a touch with the RSU. The other end is trimmed and soldered in the way to a convenient point. Here's one I did earlier.
Right I really am off on holiday now, flight is a 10 in the morning. Happy modelling.
