I am shopping for a vertical windlass in the 500W range and many of them list the windlass as 6mm DIN 776. 6mm = 0.2362". Will a 1/4" G4 or BBB chain fit these gypsies?

Our gypsy is 10mm which our manual says should use DIN 766 / ISO / G4, but the dealer gave us BBB chain. For the first year or two we had some occasional interference between the two.

We were talking to the dealer about having the gypsy replaced, but before we really pushed for that the problems stopped being an issue. I presume the chain or gypsy wore just enough that they conform fine now.
