Your comment about "today's" #35 chain being garbage is incorrect. EK Chains are still made in Japan for example and have been around for 70 years. They pioneered the use of O rings. I use their #35 chain almost exclusively.
Regina has been around for 100 years, and has been a world leader in quality chain in the European motorsports.
RLV made by Xtreme is a later addition, and made in America. Their #35 is also good, and I have used it in the past.
