Narwhalin...the thing about getting rings made is the over all cost. I would suggest having WBG get a set made for you if they work out and you could pay his welder for the service...many welders will not do this type of thing because the job is to small...sorry to say it that way...but the over all cost of firing up a machine, prep time and material cost can drive a small project like this over the financial edge. If you have a friend who is a tig welder...that's a different story.

Thanks again, Alex.
I think it may be a good idea to see if anyone else on the forum would like them, and try to do a group buy. Can't wait to hear the results Warbonnetguy has...
That would be the way to go...a group buy...

Just thought I would let you know I have been using the 250# rated welded steel rings from Ace, and no bending or breaking whatsoever! I had a heck of a time getting the ring buckles to stop slipping. I think the harbor freight webbing I use is more slippery than the stuff Jeff used. But, I just eventually tied a slippery half-hitch in right behind the buckles, and it was all good...
It is apparent that this thread has morphed a bit!
that 250# rating is the safe working load, the breaking strength would be several times higher.Originally Posted by Narwhalin
