The chain links on safety chain # 1483-535-04 are 3/8 of an inch in diameter so to match that use # 6590-044-04 but its working load limit is 2,200 pounds. Since the safety chain is rated higher using a 3/8 quick link would reduce the capacity. To maintain the capacity you can use a 1/2 inch quick link # C82932 which has a 3,300 pound safe working load limit.

As far as dimensional or CAD drawings it really depends on what you want and the specific parts in question. CAD drawings are going to be proprietary so I would not be able to get them but dimensions I can usually get if you can tell me specifically what you need and the parts you are looking at.
