The same C clips came with the new chain for the 560. So far over 7K miles with no problem. Apparently that is all they are making now as I couldn't locate any crimp type masters. Just be sure to mount the C clips with the open end of the clip trailing.

Also note, be sure to keep a clean rag stuffed in the head (if just rolling in a chain) while mounting the clips. They are a tight fit and easily dropped.
