    Default Cable Chain Covers

    Guys,
    Anybody know where I can buy new covers for my Cable Chain? I googled it but no spares came up.
    I broke a few of the covers when removing them and I just need to replace them.
    Don't really want to replace the whole chain just for a few covers.
    the size is 18 x 25 mm.

    Just buy a complete new chain and take the covers from that. It's fairly cheap to buy. 18mm X 25mm Open Type Flexible Black Plastic Cable Drag Chain 1M 3 3ft | eBay

    Just make sure it's the same type.

    I doubt you would have much luck buying the covers separately but could be wrong.

    I don't think a couple of missing covers will hurt. Just move the gaps to bits that end up straight.

    I think I have the same cable chain and if you are desperate I could put a couple in the post.

    Thanks Pippin. Its more than a couple, I'm afraid...I was a bit rough and they are quite fragile so its quite a few.
    I've ordered a new chain ( a bit bigger ) so when it arrives I'll swap it out.
    Thanks for the offer though!

    Bigger cable chain is better! This stuff is a bit small for more than a couple of cables.

    3d printer would have that solved in a jiffy.
    maybe someone locally would be able to help.

    Drawing it would take the time, but I haven't got access to a 3D printer anyway. Easier to just but a new wider chain.
    Probably would have had a go, if I had one though....

    Aint that the truth!

    Thats where most of ones time goes to.

    yeah a +1 on buying a wider chain if it will fit. Room to fit more stuff!!! Quick look over shoulder to make sure missus aint watching
