Pardon me for reviving the subject but I am about to roll in a new timing-chain into my 300E and cannot decide how to connect the old chain to the new one except to use the new crimp style connector supplied with the new chain (ie. without the copper colored plate) and hope that it does not fall off during process. Can someone assure me that it will not fall off or alternatively tell me how to find a temporary clip type connector for use during the rolling-in process. Help!
