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.
