Tire chain bags
« on: August 13, 2024, 07:48:27 AM »
Does anyone have an original tire chain bag?  I'm working on getting a run of repros made but need an original for dimensions and other details.

Thanks, Tom

So, the info I have is from a post on the G503 site years ago. Someone had some chain bags made up by Beachwood Canvas. Here is the notes I have. the bags have white canvas lined with a white vinyl on the inside in hopes of keeping the chains from staining the material.
The front tire bag is 13"X18" and fits both chains. The track chains are 15"x24" and one chain fits in each.
