117 Timing Chain Connecting Link Question

[Roncallo]

Gentelmen

I have been reading several post on different methods of how to pean over the connecting links on the 116/117 timing chains. And in fact I recall doing this myself on several 450's in the late 70's. However I just ordered my timing chain for my 560SL and it came with a 5 piece connecting link.

1 Link with two shafts attached, 2 flat links and 2 of the tinyest Jesus clips I ever saw that I know are going to end up in the internals of my engine if I atempt to use this arrangement.

I would like to know what are peoples thought of this kind of connecting link. Is the pean over version still available. I dont trust those 2 tiny clips.
