Installation
Riveting links are a little more difficult to install over the conventional connecting links that use a slip fit link plate.
Riveting Link Installation Instructions:
- Slip the pin link side through the chain. (Its the link with pins)
- Press/Drive the side plate onto the pin ends until its flush with the end of the pin.
- Then you'll need to drive down the plate until the plate is past the spring clip groove or cotter pin hole. It's recommended to use a hollow punch. Punch inner diameter must be larger than the pin diameter.²
- Finally, insert the spring clip or cotter pin.
² Do not drive the plate too far. This will pinch the roller link and cause a stiff joint that can not move freely.
Never drill the holes of the link plate. This can significantly decrease the strength of the link plate and chain.
