Help - AFAM Chain
 

I've just recieved my new AFAM chain for my 748 today, on opening the box i was expecting to see some sort of slide clip with the softlink.........

However all that is in the sealed bag that was in the box was the half link, 4 rubber washers and the plate that goes on the link (the end of the rods??? seem to be copper but they have no groves for a slide clip)

I would like to put the chain on tomorrow, has anybody any hints or tips in what i need to do? special tools needed etc

My deduction was to slide the plate over the link and flatten the copper ends?????

I am not ashamed to say that i am in need of that legendary DSC helpfulness.......... :D

Ah that ll be a rivet link then, you need a riveting tool (dont we all)

£60 from hein-gericke, or try to borrow one, and i suspect someone to do it for you, can be a bit tricky.

He'll do you a pretty good deal on one like he did me.

Thanks AndyB/Guido, i have just purchased a splitter/Riveter about 20 mins ago! turning out to be expensive this, i only wanted to change the gearing and have ended up buying
