Hi all,
I wish to make an 81 link chain but not fit the 'half' link with the clip or cotter pin, but to rivit the link in. Apprently there is such a link around, just not in Australia..

Can anyone suggest a supplier that can help?

I have re-used the original pins in the past on tuned motors and never had one come undone.You can push them out with a vice and a small 1/4 inch socket as a sleeve to push it into.Build your chain then tap pin back through and centre punch with a heavy hammer but avoid trapping the links.I've also used the split pin type and again never had any trouble,if they were that bad would shops sell them?
