Got the one nasty chainplate pulled today. I wanted to get pics of it before any polishing. Would you take it to the metal fabricators as is, or try to clean it up some first. Measures about 14 x 2". I'll do a bit of searching to see what non-custom chainplates in that size typically run. I've been told to spec 316L stock. One route would be to buy blanks this size online and then get a local shop to drill them, I suppose.
Unfortunately, my friendly neighborhood diver showed up as I was working on the boat and I now have a cleaned bottom and running gear and nowhere to go!
Did a quick peek at the rigrite catalog and didn't seem to be anything in a 14 x 2. Seems like it'd be best to get an exact match, anyway, assuming the shop says they need replacing.
