Default INSULATORS, W/T, Chain, Small, 3-Link ZA 4444

If you take a look at the photo I posted earlier of the three Insulators (Post #893), you will likely notice the middle link looks fatter than the two outer ones in each assembly.

I noticed this when I took the photo but simply chalked it up to the lighting and angle at the time I took the photo. This morning, I was finishing cleaning up the assembly I had started and when doing so, noticed the middle link was indeed a lot thicker than the other two, so dug out my callipers to confirm.

Sure enough, in all the Insulator assemblies I have, the outer links averaged 0.320 inches thick while the middle ones averaged 0.394 inches. Otherwise, they are all dimensionally identical. So why the more robust middle link I wonder?
