Try a master link for a chain. It's hard to tell the size from the photo, but a #35, #40, or a #50 might work. Also, you might consider a heavy duty version (e.g. 50H) if they have it.

When modifying my bridal on my now sold Cabrihna croosbow 16 I had a the same problem. I just used 800lb kite line. make some passes through the islet and use a square knot. Then do it again untill you feel you have the strength you need. Lighter than a piece of chain.
happy kiting
