If i bought this to make a chain driven mamod, how would i join it back together?



Thanks
MrMamod

James it is very easy - When you get the chain you will be able to easily see it is only hooked into each link..

I use a pair of narrow ended pliers to carefully close the last link.

To open the links I wrap the chain, hooks up, around a large sprocket and use a small screwdriver with the end sharpened to pry the hook open.

Don't try this method without using the sprocket, if the screwdriver slips the end will be in your finger, DAMHIKT.
