They certainly are the weakest link in the system. OTOH maybe I 
shouldn't say that without seeing the other ends of the guys. <:-))  I 
guess I'm a bit puzzled as to why put those rings in there in the first 
place. The links above them are probably about 1200# which is still way

Phillystran...with 1200# links?
