I always look in my "Yellow Pages" [i.e., industrial/business] telephone directory for lifting equipment suppliers; they usually have a better range than chandlers and their prices are not "marine" prices. They should lasostock galvanised chain. Best to take your winch with you wherever you go looking for chain so that you make sure that the chain really does fit the gypsy. Look also at 8mm chain, as there is very little difference between 5/16" and 8mm. Best of luck!
