Fabricating new Jordan Series Drogue Chainplates
Posted: Sun Nov 28, 2021 7:29 pm
Here are pictures of some drogue chainplates I made during my time off work for the holiday this weekend. Maybe this information will be useful for someone looking to fabricate their own.
I briefly looked at the recommended load values provided @ https://www.jordanseriesdrogue.com/D_5.htm
and believe my chainplates should be sufficient. Hopefully I don’t ever need to find out.

Material: 316L Stainless Steel from McMaster-Carr
Overall length: 13”
