Anyone know where to get meccano chain at? I have found this
Its plumbers chain and looks close and might work. To me I would hve the teeth on the sprocket go in the little slots inbetween links. I got this a my local hardware store. Maybe with a little rigging and a homemade sprocket I can put it to work. [img][/img]

Thanks for the site, I looked at it and the stuff is pretty expensive 22 USD for 3ft of chain ( 1 meter ) I paid 17USD for 10 ft of chain

Yep, he is your man, sells everything. Not cheap, but he does also list some bits as being lower quality and sells it a bit cheaper.
Failing that look out on e-bay.
Personally I found that you can spend a lot of time and lost bids on ebay trying to buy specific meccano bits, and in the end I just put together a shopping list on the meccanoman site.
Oh, I did also think meccanoman's postage was a bit steep.

You must be subsidising my postage as I thought mine was quiet reasonable.
I think he only charges actual postage plus 1.50 pounds for postage and handling for overseas delivery.
