240Ed,

If you can find where to get the clip type master link, Let me know. I would like to get a few.

If you can't find any clip type master links, put some epoxy or glue on the master link outside rail to hold it on while you feed the chain. There isn't any side force on the chain so you don't need much to hold the side rail in place.

If I had a clip type master link, I would use that instead of the crimp type. I've been driving MB Diesels for 30+ years and a clip type master link has never come apart while the engine was running. I know others would disagree with this but that is my experience.
